IN PERSON: This course, updated for 2024, helps students navigate the rapidly changing world of video streaming and make informed decisions about cable and streaming options, including how to "cut the cable cord." Topics covered include over-the-air broadcasts, on-demand and live streaming services, and how to select, connect and use streaming devices (e.g., Roku) and platforms (e.g., Netflix). Participants will also learn how to find streaming content, track their viewing habits and create watch lists of shows. Lectures are augmented with demos of streaming services and devices, live use of search tools, class discussion of streaming content and ample time for questions. The goal is for each student to create a plan for more intentional, cost-effective and enjoyable viewing. | Lecture + Q&A.
