Hi, Jan.

I do know that Jonathan knows his stuff. However, while I've downloaded the book on using Zoom I haven't listened to any of it and so I'm currently not able to comment on his teaching style for this particular book. However, since the book is electronic and not a hardcopy book there's no harm in downloading it and in giving it a try. It isn't like there are a limited number of copies available and so if you download it there's no danger of someone else not being able to get a copy. You might find that parts of it will be useful and others may not and yet later on you may find that what you first thought was irrelevant or difficult to follow may make more sense in the future as you continue to use and play with Zoom. That has certainly been the case with me when it comes to tutorials and product manuals.

What an amazing guy this Jonathan Mosen must be!  I'm very impressed!

But I do have a question, David.  Given what you know of my relative
lack of tech savvy, would I really benefit from this book?  I don't
want to take advantage of a free offer if most of the book will be way
over my head.

Thanks.

Kia ora everyone, from a beautiful Wellington New Zealand.

As many of you know, I’m now CEO of a national organisation here in New
Zealand. I’m no longer developing Mosen Consulting projects, but I keep
titles
available as long as they remain relevant. Occasionally, I check in to
see what we have sold through our automated system.

Having just done this, I have noticed a sharp increase in the number of
people buying my audiobook on Zoom Cloud Meetings, “Meet Me Accessibly”,
which
is a three-hour description of how to use Zoom on a range of platforms
with a screen reader. There has been a very sharp spike in sales in just
the last
few days.

Clearly, this is because more people are already working from home or
are preparing to do so.

I do not feel comfortable profiting from a need people have during a
crisis that is unprecedented in living memory. If people need access to
the material
at a time like this, I can afford to give it away especially since Mosen
Consulting is no longer my primary means of making a living.

I have therefore refunded in full everyone who has purchased “Meet Me
Accessibly” during March, and made it free on the website. You are
welcome to download
it free and distribute it anywhere you want. The only thing I ask is
that you please not change any of the files and that it be distributed
in full.

Download it free from
http://mosen.org/zoom

I hope this helps in some small way during a very tough time for many.

There is no sugar coating the fact that we are living through a very
difficult period in history. But if we follow quality advice including
regular handwashing
and levels of isolation appropriate for the degree of outbreak in our
country, we’ll get through it.

Let’s all do our best to stay safe, be mindful of the safety of others,
and be kind.

Take care.
