How to review training video elements of design and function?

Hello,
I'm reviewing a coworker's training videos. What criteria should i use in reviewing the videos?
I'm thinking that in order to provide effective feedback, I need a list of elements that make good training videos. Would anyone know a website or book that explains what makes a good training video GREAT?
Also, is there a section on this site that can provide feedback on training videos?
Thanks

Hi there,
It might help if we knew what the subject of your co-workers training videos is. I'm guessing from what you've said that you're talking about a video training course where the presenter narrates a screencast (a recording of their screen), to explain the software. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.
I've been looking at video training courses for Photoshop Elements and Photoshop for three or four years now - I even produced one a few years back - so I know what it's like from both the student and the teacher's point of view. In four years, this is the best Photoshop Elements video training course I've seen by far.
You asked what criteria you should use in reviewing - here are some of the guidelines I lay down on that page:
1) A great training course has to use screencast video - You could follow a text guide, but why not just go and buy a manual or an 'X for dummies' guide if you're going to do that - video is the best way to illustrate and communicate training advice for products as complicated as Adobe Photoshop.
2) A great training course should cover all angles - This is a balance. The training course must be complete without being comprehensive. It should be complete, so that no major section of the product is missed out - there's nothing more frustrating than finding out at the end that the trainer isn't going to address what you're interested in. But the training almost certainly shouldn't be comprehensive. Taking Photoshop Elements as an example, if the trainer explicitly mentions every single mode that every single tool can be used in, every keyboard shortcut, every menu item, every dialog ... you get the point ... the training will end up causing A) information overload, and B) boredom! The training should provide good coverage of the program (good breadth), with an appropriate level of detail (fair depth).
3) In the same vein, some of the Photoshop Elements training I've watched has been agonizingly boring! The training should be broken down into sections of a sensible size, and each one should leave you begging for more. The training should be fun! And the trainer should communicate in a way that makes the training easily understandable - people will benefit from and enjoy the training a lot more if the instructions and descriptions are clear and easy to follow.
4) As in any presentation, think about the target audience. Is it meant to be an 'absolute beginners Photoshop Elements training course', or should the title be 'Advanced Photoshop Elements training for guru-grand-masters'? Is it just for those using Windows, or just for those using Mac? Try to review the training with a target audience in mind, so you can assess whether it meets their needs. Like me, you might even want to buy or sample other video training courses to see how they compare.
5) Finally, good training doesn't always have to be free, but it shouldn't cost the earth either. The Photoshop Elements training I review here costs $49.95. That's a reasonable price for what is a really excellent training resource. But asking someone to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for training is rarely appropriate, perhaps with the exception of a face-to-face training course. Make great content, and then over-deliver on all your promises to the consumer, at a price that they simply can't get over - then let them rave about it to all their friends. =)
One more good tip: I mentioned training books above - visit your local bookshop or library and grab a training book on the product (so for example I might do an Amazon search for 'PSE8 for dummies', see what's about, then pop to Waterstones to flick through a copy) - see what topics THEY cover. See the level of detail they give. If you had to honestly recommend a product to someone, would it be the book or the training course? It's a nice easy metric to judge how valuable the training really is.
You asked about a section on the site where people can provide feedback on training videos - I actually have a section for that on my site. You can post and discuss Photoshop Elements training reviews here, and Photoshop training reviews here. I'd love to hear about any resources that you think are worth mentioning.
I hope that helps. All the best, Rob.
PS. Just a tip: In general, don't cross-post the same question over several different forum areas. =)

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no effects is going thru?

Hi Life93,
What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)
See this thread on how to remove the audio from a clip in iMovie -

How Do I Sort Videos By Episode/Season and Not Name?

I commented on an older thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12379142#12379142) but think that this topic might deserve its own.
I am kind of frustrated that I have uploaded two TV series to my iPad and the video player is showing the videos sorted by episode name alphabetically. This is pretty dumb, since I want to watch the episodes in the order they were released and not the arbitrary order of their alphabetical sorting.
I have tried assigning season numbers, episode numbers, track numbers, release dates, all kinds of stuff. Nothing seems to change the iPad video app's alphabetical sort.
Can anyone show me where I am going wrong?
Scott

I just opened up iTunes while my iPad is connected to see what options are available for ordering the movies on the iPad directly. The video sync page that you refer to shows the movie icons in a grid format with a checkbox to determine if they should be synced with the device. The icons cannot be moved.
I have tried playing with the order and tags of the movies in the iTunes LIBRARY->Movies list but nothing I do there to the movies' info (or display, obviously) has any effect on how the iPad's video app sorts the movies.

How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc. I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"? I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc. I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"? I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success! Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion. While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post. A suggestion in that direction would help.
Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media. It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD". A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV. Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago. I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems. There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

Adobe Connect training video for the Learner and their engagement in virtual sessions

I am looking for a short Adobe Connect video on the Learners' role in virtual collaboration, communication and their engagement in virtual sessions: their use of the tools, expectations, etc. A training video for the virtual learner.

I am currently having the same issue, the only difference is that I am publishing Captivate projects into Connect courses/curriculums. The Captivate (v5) projects are basically a demo and I want the attendee to receive credit for viewing the demo after the demo window closes (the setting at the end of last slide). I have tried to enable/disabe the Quiz reporting along with other settings with no luck. After the demo closes I receive a pause icon and I want a green check mark. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

How can I get videos off my iPhone and onto iPad2 for editing?

I have backed up the videos into a folder, and I load them into a folder that I sync with the iPad but I cannot view them... Any suggestions.

You imported the videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with your computer placing the imported videos in a folder that was selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes along with having Include Videos selected under the Photos tab followed by a sync?
The videos are not available via the Photos app on your iPad?

How can I play video on my iPhone and have it display on my iMac?

I don't own a tv. But I do own an iPhone 5s and an iMac. I'd like to mirror the video I have access to from my phone onto the iMac. How can I do this?

Hello Kailua,
I know that you can mirror you iPhone's display onto a Apple TV, as can you with the Mac, but I do not think you can mirror your iPhone to your iMac.
Sincerely,
Devin
