What is Primetime University?
University-Quality Learning, Designed For Retirement Communities
Primetime University (Primetime U) is a live, interactive Zoom lecture series designed specifically for retirement communities and lifelong learners.
Each program features college professors, historians, authors, attorneys, and subject-matter experts delivering engaging, professionally produced lectures, live, on screen, with real-time interaction and on-screen captions.
This is not passive recorded video content. Every lecture is live, moderated, interactive, and designed to spark conversation before, during, and after the session. Stimulating intellectual content has been lacking at retirement communities for far too long. Primetime U changes that right now.
What Makes These Lectures Different?
Not Just Another Zoom Call
Every detail has been engineered for the senior audience, from speaker vetting to real-time moderation.
Only Top-Tier Speakers
All lecturers are vetted professors, attorneys, authors, and professional presenters with extensive senior audience experience.
Uber-Professional Production
Branded backgrounds, full-screen PowerPoints, Zoom Webinar format, on-screen captions, and a 10-minute tech test before every speaker’s first lecture.
Built-In Interactivity
Live Q&A, polls updated throughout, speaker pauses every 15 minutes, and post-lecture discussion questions so staff can “keep the conversation going.”
Low Cost, Great Value
Your residents can enjoy tremendous value at a budget-friendly price.
