CAMARILLO — You no longer have to be 50+ to take CSU Channel Islands (CSUCI) Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) classes. Beginning with the 2024 Spring Session I, anyone age 30 and up can register.
“While OLLI is designed for folks ages 50 and up, it is now open to all adult lifelong learners who want to enrich their knowledge without the pressure of tests, grades, or working toward a degree,” said OLLI Program Coordinator Shaina Salin. “OLLI is learning for the joy of learning.”
After almost two years of offering only virtual classes, CSU Channel Islands’ (CSUCI) Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is now holding in person and simultaneously live-streamed courses for its Fall II session.
OLLI will be using state-of-the-art streaming technology that improves the experience for those watching classes virtually.
“The technology is called ‘Hy-Flex’, and it’s really cool.” said Jeff Zisken, OLLI Marketing & Program Coordinator. “The camera is motion-sensored and follows the speaker around and is capable of zooming in and out.”
OLLI members can choose to attend in person or join online. Classes are also recorded and can be played back at a student’s convenience.
