INDEX OF QUEST DROPBOX LINKS

Below are links to those Quest classes that were recorded in the spring, summer, and fall sessions of 2020, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, when face-to-face classes could not meet at the 25 Broadway venue. Classes were given via Zoom in both “webinar” (presentation) and “meeting” (discussion) formats. The webinars were recorded, and they are accessible here to all active members of the Quest Learning Community of New York City.

These are Quest Dropbox links to classes that are listed in chronological order under the courses to which they belong. Click on any link to see the edited dropbox video. You can remove the sidebar from the video window by clicking on the small arrow icon in the upper-right-hand corner of the window. To go back to the Quest site click on “Return to Quest Main Page.
