Re: [orca-list] Podcasts and/or audio tutorials needed

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I think there should be a companion text but written material can't be the only medium because not everyone 
reads braille.  An electronic text (softcopy) should be the way to go as far as that for them to review with 
a screen reader they already know.  The audio lessons are absolutely great though.  You might even go so far 
as to install a copy of Ilias, Moodle or Chamilo on a server and create an online learning solution.  I've 
often toyed with that idea for Orca but I've hesitated because I just don't have the time to dedicate to it 
properly.  I'd go with Ilias if I ever did it because it has a built-in point of sale module.  You'd have to 
assemble a team to deploy the software (not too hard if you understand setting up a lamp stack) and then 
creating the courses with certain portions assigned to particular individuals.  Some people write better than 
they speak and so on.  Then, you need to create processes for ensuring it all keeps going and gets updated 
and so on.  

Just some thoughts,
Alex M

Why not use written material, which allows any spelling and punctuation they need to do?
