BP13_20091203_Web2.0-No6

This tool is called WOOPID. It is very similar to the lynda accounts that we have for training. What I really like about this site is the interface. It is easy to navigate through and find what you want.

The new features allow for you to see a small video instead of just words like as in the lynda.com tutorials. The topics are also more inviting. They have a take a step back button if you need to review it again or you can Move Forward when you are ready to go on.

There are two ways to get the training video you desire. You can search for the subject or title that you want in the search bar or you can use the library that is on the top tab.

Another feature that is embedded into the video's are the use of actual site navigation and music. The process seems to be fun and easy do to the additional features.

One of the most enticing features is the fact that it is free and available at my school. My students were able to watch the new itunes version 9 to see what the new features are. I will introduce it to the staff at my first opportunity because they will be able to chose the tool of choice and do it at their own pace. Maybe as learners they will be able to model the style to create something different in their classrooms.
