I thought that I would continue Video week with a series of videos that I found from the University of Maine Continuing Education Department.  It seems that a senior at the University of Maine created 4 short films to showcase the University’s online learning programs. 

The key question that I would like to know is whether he received credit for these short films.  If I were the professor, I would have given him a C.  None of them held my interest or demonstrated an understanding of the classes or the people who attend them.

My least favorite is the second one.  It shows a student running while listening to lectures at the same time.  The student finishes her workout and then finishes the rest of the class.  I too run in the morning and would jump at the chance of being able to attend classes while running through my neighborhood.  During my runs, I can only concentrate on the next step so I would be unable to understand any level of complexity during this time.

My key question for this series of promotion, is what target market are they looking for?
