Hello Everyone -
<br>
<br>
All teaching methods have a good and bad side!
<br>
<br>
The good side to video instruction is that no spoken or signed language
is necessary, to show people how to do a computer task...which means
that for people who can see well, it is an excellent way to learn...And
then later, no translation is necessary into other languages too. Plus
it is very fast for me to create the video clips...quite easy
actually...
<br>
<br>
So that is why I created 32 Instruction Videos showing how I work with
SignPuddle 1.5:

SignPuddle 1.5 Video Instruction

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/help/SignPuddle15/">http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/help/SignPuddle15/</a>
<br>
<br>
And I hope you all have watched them if you can...
<br>
<br>
The bad side to video instruction is that for the Blind, and
Deaf-Blind, the videos are impossible to view...but if I understand it
correctly, written books are usable by the Blind in different ways...

Hi Val,<br>
For those of us who don´t have Internet a home, a manual or a web
page are much easier because we can bring them home to read. I am
looking forward to Reading the Reference Manual too. Meanwhile I want
to watch all of the Video Instructions I possibly can.<br>

So I was just informed by one of our list members who is Deaf-Blind,
that the Video Instruction has left them without a Reference Manual to
read!
<br>
<br>
So I will write a Reference Manual for SignPuddle 1.5 in the next few
weeks...it will be similar to the SignText Reference Manual 1.0...just
adjusted for the new features in SignPuddle 1.5...so it should not be
too much work...
<br>
<br>
I will inform you all when it is ready...smile...
<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, if you all ask questions to the List, that might help you
get started even without a manual...
<br>
<br>
Val ;-)
