Is this the YouTube generation? Imagine some foot tapping to a soft background music clip as the solution rolls on with the odd "Woops - it's done it again, ignore that error." I recommended a 1 to 2 min limit and suggested a scribble script / storyboard to plan. Just getting some to explain their screen shots is heaps better value than
pages of annotations scribbled on printouts or an explosion of web
pages. We used MovieMaker to scroll through each of the slides, adding a narration sound track with Audacity. I suppose I could have also used Wink as the new version has audio although they were familiar with the former from the 3in6 competition last year :-)
