And while I won't say there's something "bad", there are some things that I wish were better. While my overall impressions were very good, nothing is perfect. So if a subject of particular interest is found, it can be bookmarked, complete with a title and description, for later reference. At any point a video can be bookmarked so it can be returned to at a later time. Which brings me to what I found to be another useful feature. The nature of having the lessons in a video format, with the ability to bookmark them, made for a much easier mechanism to take in the information being provided. That level of information would be too overwhelming in a lecture format.Īn example of depth of information. Far more information that I felt I could give in a lecture.
I also quickly noticed was the depth of information that was included in the videos. It shows his experience, and an understanding that there are many approaches that work, and each user can choose which they like at their discretion. Just that he liked a setting, or this approach, and why he does it. Not because it was a "better" way to use Inventor. I also noticed that he pointed out things that he did out of his preference. He was the right amount of giving the information in a engaging, and interesting way.
He wasn't monotone, but he wasn't "over the top" trying to be entertaining. Plunging into the videos, starting with Inventor's interface, I found the instructor, Adam Cooper, to be easy to listen to. I thought this made it easy to take them in small increments and avoid getting overwhelmed. The videos are organized into fairly short segments, most of them a few minutes long. There was also a pretty good help system if I had a question on the navigation. I found that it's easy to get used to and simple to use. The first thing I did, was take some time to get used to navigating the viewer. I guess you can say I'm a little biased that way.īut it's time to set my biases aside and take a good look. I've just thought it's too hard to replace the interaction, and experience of live instructor. However, having instructed several courses myself, I've always thought that they couldn't replace class based training. I've created several videos myself, and I use them whenever possible. Personally, I'm a big fan of video based training. With that out of the way, I'd like to start out with how I see video training. Beyond being supplied training files, I was free to formulate my own opinions. I was just given a link to download the files, and then the freedom to take a look at the files. I wanted to dig into it and really understand it.īefore starting anything, I think it's important I say that I didn't get compensated in any way for this. Back near the end of 2013, I was asked to review Learning Autodesk Inventor 2014 video based training created by Infinite Skills.
