Training Materials Last Week

For my last blog, I would just like to say that I never realized how much effort, time, and attention creating training materials needed. I used Camtasia to create an actual training video. I found out really quick that when making a video it is important to have a script in front of you so that it doesn't sound so 'chopped' when your speaking. I had a really good experience overall while creating these training materials, other than not liking the software that I was using for the implementation of the training everything was successful. Working in groups made the whole project much easier as well. We completed our work on time and different members of the group stepped up to take different roles when needed. I think it it a crucial component to any training that you must have a good team around that is committed, focused, and willing to help in any way. My last and only concern last week was getting the pictures into a file format from the documents I created. I did this once and when I reopened the pictures they weren't cropped the way I wanted. Regardless, there must be an easier way to do this, and if I find it, I'll make a Camtasia video and put it on the web so others can know about it!
