[nobe-l] internet instructional ideas

Labeling what you are offering is a key component to offering any course material online and providing a relevant cost worthy product.

I have found, and I have purchased, material that was not up-to-date and was not what I thought it to be. For example, if you were going to offer a tutorial on MS Word with a certain version of jaws then identify your offering with an explicit title. For example, "using spellchecker with jaws 16 in MS word 2013". I have made the mistake of purchasing fast tutorials in the past only to learn they were with jaws 12 or jaws 15. Yes, certainly some things don't change or change minimally. However, you can always revise your advertisement or product description to reflect the fact that your offering is still relevant even though there are newer versions of jaws working with MS word 2013. This statement leads me to my next piece of advice. Keep your descriptions up-to-date and relevant to what is currently out. Finally, take down those things that are quite out of date or as a courtesy offer them for free or at a significantly reduced rate for those who have not been able to update their resources.
