Here’s one you can all help me with. When putting together learning materials – particularly aimed at a public sector audience – what’s the best format to use?
More specifically – is there any use in using video? Problems with video in the office include:
For a couple of projects I’m looking at putting together learning resources for people about digital “stuff”, and I am leaning towards just writing lots of blog style bits of text with screenshots, rather than going down the screencast or video route.
It makes it chunkable so people can learn in bits if they choose, and of course text and images are a pretty universal, low bandwidth means of content delivery – they will work fine on whatever screen size, and won’t take ages to download.
Plus, by adding a social element, enabling people to talk about the content and discuss it in the context of their own work and projects, that will help embed the learning a little more.
What do people thing?
I find this stuff so you don’t have to:
Codebunk looks like a neat in the browser editor for writing and testing code. Particularly useful, I think, for those learning to program.
Here’s a video that demonstrates how it works.
