Still, there are some conceptuall difficulties. Suppose that one wants to update a package version, to include some extra ./configure switch or to do some other minor modification. Then, he has to re-record the whole part of the video, and still, the voice will be different from other parts. > > Also this means that we would automatically lose blind people from the > audience. > > > The included audio will work for most visually impaired, but that is a > good point..

So we came back to the "linear text book" method of presenting the information, except that there is also an additional video track (good) that runs a pre-determined speed that may differ from the optimal information flow speed for the student watching this video (bad, but true for any lecture). > Not a problem, it was just my immediate thought on reading Gerard's > post, since I have been looking at doing new-to-Linux-end-user type > video clips and making them available cross platform.

I didn't finish the project, because there was no demand or interest for Linux among "computer operators" at USU at that time. Although, I learned that I miss a lot of skills required to make an interesting TV show instead of a boring lecture. -- Alexander E.
