Software Resources

eLearning Tutorials Many vendor websites are available to help people learn technical skills visually with movie tutorials. Various software functions for both MAC and PC WINDOWS are demonstrated in small movie clips. It is a great way to ease into learning a product by selecting just one movie or concept at a time. A number of these movie clips are available at no charge, others charge a worth-the-money subscription. Many books are also bundled with DVD training which is not online but definitely providing the same visual learning mode. eLearning lets you set your own pace and learning style.
PhotoStory3 You can use Photo Story 3 for Windows to create visually compelling and fun stories using your pictures and music. This article walks you through the basics of creating a photo story and shows you how easy and fun it can be!
Audacity This is the online help for Audacity. It is meant to be a quick reference, not a complete manual. There is also a complete user's manual available online
