exporting courses from vtc to blackboard and other systems

If you are looking for an easy way to include a course in your LCMS, for example blackboard, that does not require the user to login, here's how to do it.

Once logged in to vtc.com, go to the course page you want, in this example, Photoshop CS4 and look at the right panel for a link that says export course lessons as HTML













this generates a html page, that you can then add into any system. You can also change anything on that course page using any html editor. All the links to the movies are encoded with the username and password, but be impossible for anyone to see that.

Macworld Expo

We are making some changes to VTC - basically, expanding our remit to include IT recruitment - the jobsite side of VTC had been done a year or so ago as a subdomain, but now we are integrating it fully into the VTC site. paying subscribers will be able to post unlimited job vacancies, and it's free to anyone to post their resumes. We'll even give out a free course for anyone who posts their resume.

We will be launching the new site at Macworld Expo in San Fran - Keith and the team will be there giving demos and we have some guest authors appearing too. We took the large stand left by Belkin, so we should be easy to spot - right next to Apple.

If you want to come say hello, I shall be demoing on the other side of the VTC stand, showing off iplotz, a new wireframing tool we developed over the last 6 months.

See you at the show!
