My only caveat to live Linux training would be remuneration. Talented folks
that take the time to try and train others simply do not wish to do this over
and over again. New students appear, lessons are retaught - the effort never
ends. This repeated effort deserves compensation.
One-time lessons that are recorded for posterity make more sense (perhaps with
a lucky live audience of students). A guest presenter may make the time to
give a presentation (just as at a SLUG meeting). Those who can make it will
benefit from being able to ask questions.
The true benefit of having an Online training system is CAPTURING THE LESSON
for later playback. Having presentations at meetings has always seemed a bit
sad to me: only those at the meeting may benefit. The real goal should be to
build a knowledge base that may be tapped in the future on demand by students
everywhere.
I'm really thinking about VNC/ogg recording my UML presentation for folks to
enjoy online afterward. It would be nice to get VNCReflector going to make it
truely live.. but simply capturing it seems more important to me.
