TeachMac -- Jack's Picks MWSF2007
[ This is one item in my series of Picks from Macworld Expo 2007. See the whole list of picks here. ]
TeachMac publishes online interactive training modules. People looking to learn about a subject download the TeachMac software, which allows them to browse and access training modules on all sorts of subjects.
The most interesting thing about TeachMac's courses is that they are user-created. Anyone can download the tools to create interactive training, which is then uploaded to the TeachMac site. The author of each module can decide how much, if anything, to charge for it.
Here are some of the subjects covered by their training modules: AppleWorks for Teachers, AppleWorks Spreadsheet, AppleWorks Word Processing, File Sharing Basics, Getting the Most from your Mac Volumes 1-4, Google, Google Reader, Introduction to Pages, Intro to iTunes 7, Intro to Mail, Intro to the Mac, iTunes Basics, Moving DVDs to your iPod, OmniOutliner, Photoshop Elements, Tiger for Students, Tiger for Teachers.
I heard about these folks from Dave Hamilton of the Mac Geek Gab podcast. I plan to develop some modules for them. I'll report more about that process.
Various prices, from free on upward.
