There is no specific time on line, in the sense of everyone being there at once. There is a discussion group, similar to this one, and a sort of social feeling to it all.
Sara gets a nice energy going with her classes, and the experience is very pleasant, a sort of group exploration where you discuss other people's work, and vice versa.
After the week's assignment is made available (as a web page or pdf), you read the materials and do each image. Then you post back to the group with pointers to your images, and students discuss their work.
The amount of time depends on what you want to put in - There are generally about 7 examples, with some of them being simple (a few minutes tops), and others being more difficult (10 or 20 minutes). I'd say two or three hours a week if you're starting out. Sometimes people get very involved in the new concepts, trying out different combinations, and can spend more time than that - an hour on one image - but that's unusual.
