Hello Francis, You are completely right about the multimedia training but linuxcbt.com are selling their DVDs at over $100 PER product or service. The one with a collection of different services costs $2,190! I do not know about those students having access to the means to purchase electronically and even then being able to spend that $100 per service that they need to learn. The people who need the knowledge most are probably going to have to keep looking through those PDFs. At the same time, however, I believe that multimedia content is a form of enhancement (visual aids) to education but it cannot replace the actual text which provides the core of the concepts that one needs to learn. So either depending on which student one is, they can study the material in detail and learn use the videos to visualise or vice versa... get a quick start with visual material and then learn the core..
