Hi Justin. Each time OOo records a macro, it saves it in VBA format. If I can get the OOo VBA learned, semi decently, would you like to take a look at a few things? I'm excited about how we could use the technology in OOo to teach OOo.
It's an interesting concept, but you need to flesh it out more. :)
Probably the main problem *flash* has with OOo training, is that the flash player itself has no capability of catching when a person does a right mouse click on it.
Because there are some things in OOo that can only be done through a right click mouse context menu, this means they're impossible to do any kind of interactive testing/training on. That leaves us with only being able to do "demonstration" style flash training (like in the DDGTS lessons).
I'm not sure if the OOo macro approach above would give a potentially alternative aveue for testing and such, but if it does, then it could be looked at. :)
I think that would be a tremendous selling point to to corporations.
"Look what you can do, Mr. Exec. You can get your own IT team, to build custom tutorials to cut down on your training costs! One more reason that you should ditch microsoft too!"
Good in theory, though it takes a lot of supporting stuff around that to get it into the marketplace and have it gain traction. None of which is impossible of course.
Does that help? :)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
