I did take the instructor class. I think that the advantage was that I
was forced to do my homework on time and if I had problems that there
was direct feedback once a week. I for one had an easier time phrasing
my question through talking rather than keying it in. The slight
disadvantage is, however, that not everyone is at the same level even
with weekly assignments due. I've followed the discussion on the
Duxbury course and agree that it is worth the $100. I've used Duxbury
for years and find now that I'm more productive and understand the tools
that are available to help me.
Just my observation.

Hello Everyone,
Leslie, I agree with you. This discussion has been very interesting.
Everything that I have seen relates to the online classes self study
method. I would also like to know about the online classes that are
Instructor led.
Thanks.

Hello Jean and list. Are you taking the self-paced class or the
instructor led class? I'd like to get a reply or two from
someone who
either is or has taken the instructor led class so I can compare
my
options and choose the right one for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi Leslie,
I'll add to Sandra's comments on the Carroll Center course.
Concerning
graphics for a totally blind user. It's handled very well. We
can't
create
graphics, but you will learn how to place existing graphics
files into
your
document, how to position them and how to change the dot
resolution as
needed. Sighted people don't create graphics in the course
either.
There is
a separate program for that which is not Jaws accessible.
It's worth every penny in my mind. I'm on lesson 11 now and I'm
feeling
much more comfortable with DBT now. Like Sandra, I wouldn't
have picked
this stuff up just by reading the help documentation. Hey,
you'll also
learn how to use the help files more effectively, and hey, I
actually
understand what I read in them now. Smile.
Jean
