JING/Wink/etc.
For our current group project, I am working with Jing to try to create some kind of tutorial pertaining to RSS feeds. Although the software looks easy to use, I am actually having difficulty. The first obstacle is organizing the topic. I have been trying to visualize the way that I would be able to learn best from an online tutorial, and I keep thinking that shorter and to the point is better. However, there is lots to say about RSS feeds, and how one can make use of them most effectively.
The second obstacle is using the program. I have tried Wink as well, and this program does not seem to be any easier. In order to capture the appropriate frames, the content has to be well organized in advance, especially with Jing. I am also encountering difficulties using screencast.com.
I am wondering why these softwares are so complicated, or perhaps it is simply my inexperience. I will keep working on it. I had no idea that one small tutorial could take so much time to create.
