Demonstration videos

We hope you enjoy these videos. As you work through them, we encourage you to open the ALP Platform in a separate browser window and pause the video during each step. This will give you the opportunity to process what you have seen, and to implement each step using your own teaching and learning materials. Remember, educational art such as creating cases, scenarios, and exercises should be fun. The quickest way to great work is to explore, try new things, and yes...make mistakes...as quickly as possible.

Since new features are continually added to the Applied Learning Platform in response to the evolving needs and applications of users, at any given time, a few videos will not exactly match the current release of the Platform. When this occurs, we will include comments in the video's notes.

These videos were written with the realization that they will not be viewed in succession beginning with the first. For this reason, there is overlap among them. It is hoped that this repetition reinforces learning and does not become overly tedious.
