Dr. Mattmann pointed out two very specific examples that I couldn't get running without some extended clarification. Seeing a video and hearing what the presenter has to say is a great way to learn how to do something. There are also SCORM style classes but holy cow do they take a lot of time to put together. They can also include step by step video instructions but I doubt anyone has that much time. Hilarious that even the e-learning software site has am embedded video that I went straight to over reading the documentation. http://moodle.org/about/
Anyway, putting a video up on the web to be plugged in to blogs and most of all, the main website, will really help to gain a broader user community. w/r, Adam On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 1:28 PM, Mattmann, Chris A (388J) < [email protected]> wrote: > Paul, awesome!
