Actually, it will be better to show them by example:
"What you could do with Rev in your classes".
(Now, i remember Mark Greenberg stacks)

Already, i have show them templates for Multiple choice exams,
Reading Tests and the kind of tests used in Moodle.

Some have asked about SCORM compliance
http://www.loaz.com/learning-objects/learning-object-standards-scorm.html
and the avalability of training from the source like Adobe and Microsoft
offer.
(this seems really important and looks related to new requisites of training
and actualization for teachers)

Jacque,
About the conferences, i will look for them for translating, as soon
my workload return to normal. Many thanks for your help!

The scripting conference stacks would be a natural source of materials 
if someone wants to translate them. These stacks teach the basics of 
Revolution and assume no prior knowledge. I'd be happy to host them on 
my web site alongside the English versions. You can download them here:




The stacks are mirrored at my site with the permission of Runtime, since 
there are no direct links any more on the RR site. Please feel free to 
download, translate, and send back the materials to me off list, and I 
will put them up for you. I'm fairly sure that RR would also post them 
to the RR site, but there may not be any direct link there.

Hi Al,

What sorts of things would your colleagues like to be able to do with Rev?

Thanks,

Hi Judy,

Many thanks for replying to my questions!
Now i remember that you have already teach
this platform in your classes. :-)

Teachers that i have met in Courses, Seminaries and
Workshops have the most diverse background and skills:
Age: From 25 to 55
Subjects: Language (spanish, english), Math (elemental and advanced),
Social Sciences (Economics, Education, Geography, History, Psychology)
English language skills: From Basic to Advanced

Coworkers in the Proyecto Entra 21:
http://www.isa.edu.do/isaweb/entra21.html
Age: From 30 to 50
Know how to use (and offer classes) of very specific
Computer Software:
(Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Photoshop, etc..)
English language skills: From Basic to Advanced

Ideally, these educational materials and user mail
list and user forums should be hosted in runrev site,
in many languages (translated by volunteers)
so they will be always available from a central place.

In theory, most of HyperCard teaching materials should be
applicable to this platform, but this would require to adapt
them for this new software.

Have a nice weekend!

Can you tell me much about the demographics of your "fellow teachers  
and coworkers"?  e.g., how old are they, what do they teach, what do  
they want to do with the software, what sorts of software do they  
already know how to use, etc.??


Depending upon the answers to these questions, and whether it was in  
my ability range, I'd be happy to develop teaching materials for  
them...


Let me know...

How do you solve this dilemma?

For many years, i have been talking to my fellow
teachers and coworkers about Runtime Revolution
and how easy it is to create useful applications
for their own use.

Now, that Runrev have released the free Alpha version
of revMedia, i have wrote to all of them about this
new version.

Many of them have answered positively and have
started using revMedia. Great.

But the dilemma arise when my friends
started to ask me:

My english is not very good.
Could you teach me to use revMedia?

Hmmm... Could they find me too impolite
if i ask them to keep learning english?

My time is limited by many factors,
and i will like them to learn revTalk and
revMedia. i have given them templates
to personalise with their own text and
images, but i know that these stacks
will only keep them busy (and happy)
for a while.

What are their alternatives, besides counting
on my incredibly shrinking free time,
to learn revMedia?

Could teachers expect that Runrev
publish courses made exclusively for
them, that shows, for example:

1-How to use revMedia in the classroom.
2-Teach software programing with revMedia.
3-Courses to "license" teachers in revMedia and revTalk
(just like other vendors do with their platforms).

i know that Marielle Lange and Judy Perry have
raised these topics before, but the difference
between now and then is the existence of a
free version of revMedia that runs in all platforms.

As time goes by, you will find more people doing
these same questions (more frequently).

have a nice weekend
