Hey Ian, I love the challenge of augmenting what the novice does not notice, but it does present a bit of a chicken and egg issue. We need more novices to provide this information and we need the information to become more attractive to novices. :)
For now, I am content to collect feedback and enlarge my bag of tricks. Let me know if the number of videos in NuVoc Plus is becoming a problem. I would like achieve a balance between choice and information overload, so that different options are presented without exhausting the viewer through repetition of the same theme. I plan to add one more animation based on Harvey's sliding matrices, and after that I will either update existing animations, or replace low response options with new approaches. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. Cheers, bob ps. Feedback from anyone who is new to J would be incredibly valuable to us. It does not need to be deep and insightful, I would be happy just to know which animations you think suck or don't suck. If you can tell me why, that is even better! bt On -Mar6-2010, at -Mar6-20101:09 AM, Ian Clark wrote: > I too am a big fan of Cirque du Soleil.
