Q&A: Is there a homestudy system that can do the job of computer training, and is user friendly? (http://martialtalk.blogspot.com/2008/12/q-is-there-homestudy-system-that-can-do.html)
Question:
Is there a homestudy system that can do the job of computer training, and is user friendly?
Answer:
Homestudy, varies in my experience. I've had great succcess with the "Dummies" series of books (used them to pass 2 certification tests even). The "Visual Guide" also works well for people who need a lot of visual cues. I've played with a number of CBT's (computer based training) which were good, but more geared towards an intermediate rather than beginner level.
Many community centers offer decent one day instruction for a nominal cost. It won't make you a wizard but usually will get your feet wet a bit. I'll have to check into the current CBT/VBT (videos) products.
For additional information, please see my series of articles on the Benefits of Computers for Martial Arts Schools.
