Promotional Video

Ran into many obstacles. For starters, there is not one video that addresses our needs…not one. There are dozens of tutorials, but this is not what we are looking for. I think we are going to have to figure this one out on our own every step of the way. We will essentially be pioneers. In addition, most of the universities required passwords and student id’s in order to access their good materials.

Most universities with distance learning programs have a self assessment quiz on their site which a student can take to determine if the program is a good fit for them.

This is a flash presentation put together by the University of Washington…I thought it was very impressive with its design.
