We're working on a session for TLCC 2019 and would love to hear about continuing education/adult learning opportunities your organization offers. Please let us know what you're doing and whether or not you're using Tessitura to manage the program.
Thanks,

Hi Sarah,
In our Recreational Division the RWB offers adult dance classes in various disciplines during our five-week Adult Summer Dance Program (Jul-Aug). Currently we offer registration online using Tessitura (v15) and TNEW (v6). We have it set up to collect our registrations as CSIs, which it definitely not perfect but functions OK with some significant workarounds.
We also offer adult dance classes in our Recreational Division regular program session (Sept-Jun) for which registration has only ever been in person, however we intend to offer online registration to our Adult students in the regular session for the first time this year, much in the same way as the Adult Summer Dance program. We also offer two ExplorAbility programs for adults who are challenged by physical movement.These registrations are not offered online.
In our Professional Division, we offer a four-week Teacher’s Summer Workshop in July. These registrations are handled through Tessitura/TNEW and again collected as CSIs as above.
As a yoga student, I have used MindBody from the student side and love what that program can do. I agree with Michaela that the current Tessitura/TNEW functionality falls somewhat short from an education program/class registration perspective. MindBody seems to be the program which is most often held up as the best example of how we would eventually like to be able to manage our programs and registrations on the school side.
An Open Spaces discussion around this topic would be great !
Best,
