My tutorial sessions took awhile: I began creating a podcast-tutorial to use Heritage Quest Online, first by capturing a live search on Jing, reminding myself why a storyboard script and rehearsal are so important, after 6 hours, gave up on that working well. Then I captured the part of every screen shot (shift-cmd-4) I wanted)= of every step in using a complete search, saved in iPhoto, created a Garage Band enhanced podcast, imported and placed the pictures. but the small size of the graphics was maddening.
So I surfed around to the other participants in the Digital class, and thought, "I might as well give Clarify-It a try" and while it took two hours, it was a wonderful way to create a tutorial, something I've been doing often this year as an ed-tech who often trains teachers to use new technology. This software would be useful for this purpose.
The promise of being able to save it to Drop Box was the only thing I was unable to accomplish, perhaps that is in the paid version. I saved it as a pdf and created a Clarify-It account for them to host my tutorial. What is really nice is that when I wanted to edit the tutorial, it allowed me to do so, and provided the same link as the first upload, just changed one sentence.

7a. Auto Repair Reference Center
I
researched a 1963 Volkswagen Transporter, which was a crew-cab model of a bus;
and I used to own one. The results included information on fixing various
parts of the body, brakes, chassis electrical, drive train, driveability and
troubleshooting, fuel systems, engine overhaul, performance and tune-up, plus
suspension and steering.
I think it’s a great resource for fixing an old car like this. It even included schematics like this;
I searched for my current car, a 99 VW Passat, and found there had been several recalls throughout the years, but was unable to to view it because of: Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in has been blocked for your protection. The Adobe Acrobat plugin doesn't work on Mac OS X in default (64-bit) mode, showing a blank page when users click on links to PDF files in Firefox. It also causes a significant number of crashes in 32-bit mode.
So, I went to the Maintenance Intervals section, and looked at the upcoming work that will be needed in 2,000 miles when this fine car reaches 100,000 miles. It included lube, filter, oil change, among other things required of this old car.
This resource is invaluable for the person who knows how to work on cars, as well as for general information about a car, such as its service needs and so forth. I would think it might be invaluable if one was searching for a good used car to locate possible service needs or problems that result in recalls.
