Attached is a Macromedia FLASH demo I have made for teachers at my school.
It shows some of the basic features of the teacher admin area.
It is a work in progress, so feedback is welcome.

Hello Jeff,
Bravo
This is excellent! Very comprehensive with generic screen shots to aid in portability, for example, to my site! Would you mind if I made this available at my site? Am I being rude if I shout "More, More" ? Seriously, looking forward to the finished version.
Thanks, John

John,
You'rs welcome. Tnx for your nice words.
Pse feel free to download and use.
I am still learning Moodle, so as I become more familiar with its features (and I have some spare time) I can/will add more demos for more features.

Your demo is fantastic! I just downloaded it and i think it´s great, i´d like to use it in my moodle site.
The only problem is that i´m Mexican and some of my teachers don´t speak english, i would like to translate it into spanish, i don´t know if this is possible. I think that would be helpful to other moodle users in Latinoamerica.
Thanx and best regards.

Jeff,
Great job. Would you be willing to share the fla file?
I would like to add buttons.
Thanks again.

Hi Jeff, how would I open the file to view the flash demo? In other words what program do I open the file with. I downloaded it and it opened in notepad.
Thanks,
Robbie
Hi Robbie,
I downloaded it, unzipped it using "Winzip", then opened it simply using Microsoft Internet Explorer. Seems to work fine. Hope this helps.

Jeff,
Compliments on your very nice Flash intro to Moodle for teachers.
A suggestion I would make is to break the longer Flash tutorial into several shorter sections such as:
1. Login to Moodle
2. Basic Navigation
3. Choosing and configuring 3 basic types of courses
4. Basic teaching tools (i.e. the Add button options) & what they do
5. Uploading Resources & Files
6. Placing resourses in a course
7. Feedback and basic testing
This would let you update the content easier (via shorter modules) and let you place the content in Topics in a Moodle course. But, hey! Thanks for a great start!

Hello All,
Tnx for the feedback.
When I get some more time I would like to redo it using the NEWER version of MOODLE and make smaller sections.
I'll post it here when it is done.
Happy 2004

I have started to update the demos for 1.3
See the following links for demos
Windows Media File - mjwoodresources.ca/test/accountcreation.wmv
Flash File - mjwoodresources.ca/test/accountcreation.swf
I'm open to suggestions:
1. file format
2. image sizes (600x800 etc)
3. no callouts vs call outs
4. voice over vs no voice
Jeff
I think your format is perfect! Now only the voice is missing. I think a voice commentary would be much preferable over callouts because with callouts the user has to read the callouts and therefore has no time to take in the rest of the screen.
How did you make this flash file? Is it something I could do myself?
I agree with Gustav, this is really cool. What tools did you use to make this?
I would prefer the voice over as well.
Thanks!

We made some similar tutorials for the NY State Council for the Social Studies site. They can be found here: http://www.nyscss.org/netspace/course/view.php?id=24 login as guest. We used Camtasia to build them, quite easily too. Info on Camtasia is here: http://www.techsmith.com/products/studio/default.asp. We decided not to do voice overs, although the software allows this without complication.
Jeff Watkins
These are great demos. Would you feel comfortable sharing some of them?
Thanks for the lead on Camtasia!

Sure

I used Camtasia Studio 2 (like Jeffrey - must be a Jeff thing 
).
I have also used Robodemo (works well for callouts). I will try and do some voice overs over the next week or so... think I would like to have James Earl Jones do it!!
Tnx for feedback
Jeff
Can't find the attached file or link. Can you help me?
Thanks
