Small Website updates, course update and a decision
I added some text to the About section.
I asked on the Mozilla Thunderbird forum what they thought about course #1, about Thunderbird. I got the promise to get a link to this site once the course is ready.
Also, the responses and writing the additional About text got me thinking - my mega-package of a course (once ready it would/will be quite big) is not exactly what I’m propagating. Shouldn’t I create lots of small pieces and make them available, and then create a course out of the pieces, rather than one giant Flash file, hard reuse?
So I’ve started taking the course apart, and the first result is a new “courselet” (also a new word, I use it for something that’s too small to be a called a course) “About Email”.
From now on I’ll create many small pieces, and only when all pieces are ready I assemble them into a full course - which can be done via HTML - or in a giant Flash file, as I started doing. Also, the pieces can be used for anything else, for other courses for example. A courselet about RSS in general (another part of that big Thunderbird course), for example, can be used in more courses than one about Thunderbird!
