New Style of Training
Chris Bezant 
      
6 years ago
As a seasoned student I am happy with the current style however I can see the value of the new method for newer students. My immediate concern is that this change would take you away from projects already in progress such as genealogy, pos system and developer series. A bit selfish I know but I would prefer you to finish these projects that are incomplete before embarking on the new approach.
As a concept I like it.

Chris, I fully respect what you're saying. I don't mean for this to be a "drop everything and work on it now" project. Of course I'm going to keep working on those other courses too. This would be something that I put together a little bit at a time, at first, to see if people like it.

Besides, I'm the kind of person where I can't work on one project too long without going a little crazy. I have to be able to put a project down for a bit and shift my focus to something else for a little while, and then come back to it. That's one of the reasons I've always worked for myself instead of getting a "real job" for another company. I need to be flexible with how I spend my time. Can't do the same thing over and over or I'll go nuts. Some days I record videos. Some days I work on customer emails. Some days I do work on the web site.

Plus, working on a project for a bit and setting it aside gives me time to gauge user feedback. If I put together an entire seminar like I used to do in the old days and say it was DONE, and then I get a bunch of feedback on it, it's very hard to update later. This way, I can post a lesson or two, get your feedback, and then make improvements and changes for the next lessons.

This new project will be something I do a little bit at a time - aimed at beginner users. My Word, Excel, and other Office lessons are in BAD need of updates. Word hasn't been updated since 2007. PowerPoint and Outlook since 2003. I might start this with Word lessons.

But don't worry: Access is my forte. It's what I love, and I will always keep releasing new material for Access. Not only do I enjoy making Access videos with a passion but, quite frankly it's what pays the bills. :)

I'll also probably keep "packaging" the lessons in one-hour chunks. So from a business standpoint, you can either join as a subscriber and have access to whatever videos in this new "choose your own" system you want to watch OR buy them as "Level 1, Level 2, etc." lessons where they're packaged together hourly like I have right now. It will just be a different way of presenting the lessons with a customizable flow online.
