RE: Video vs The Written Word

["Chris McQueen" <chrism -at- docutechcorp -dot- com>]

Here's an example of what I like to do:

http://knowledgebase.docutechcorp.com/Video/CamtasiaToAuthorIT/index.htm

I've shown this example several times before, but once more shouldn't
hurt.  On this site you get written instructions and a screencast of the
process.  By-the-way, I'd appreciate any feedback anyone wishes to give.
I'm still learning how to balance these tools.

Now, I'm going to make a harsh statement, but I'm not directing it
towards anyone specific.  Video vs text is a silly debate.  They're not
equals; they're not even related.  Video is an auditory and visual
experience where as reading text is a cognitive experience (meaning
there is usually a more active thought process involved).  I raise my
hand with those that suggest you look hard at what your goals are and
your maintenance demands.  As always, step lightly and carry a big
stick.
