Good Morning, or whatever time of day it is for you.
I’m sorry for the delayed reply; I was enjoying my regular and routine treatment vacation with the amazing NHS.
Getting back to the important stuff, The last two posts from TmacD and Ed66 are both brilliant, with great comments and ideas.
My qualifications are in Education, and there is a basic premise that the best way to learn is by listening, watching and following the master. Be that painting pictures or building a wall and everything in between.
The Masters have the knowledge and skills, plus the ability to impart such to those who wish to follow.
It isn’t intended that you merely copy but learn how to apply that knowledge and skill to your style and creativity. This is the defining step between a player and an Artist.
I think the best approach concerning Scaler, or any new software-based product, is first from those who created it and developed its use.
The developers should see learning Scaler as a sort of apprenticeship. Teaching Scaler sequentially and progressively will end with apprentices being so competent with Scaler that we will be in a position to forward and grow the product. Instead of it t becoming another one of many.
The time taken for any tutorial is always far more significant than you think. You have to start with the objective in mind and how you see the lesson’s conclusion. You must ensure that it is clear, understandable and can be followed and reproduced by the learner.
How many Youtube so-called tutorials do we see with someone in front of a fancy screen, waffling on and on, making it as they go along? This isn’t for teaching; this is money-making, first and foremost.
I like the idea of tags, and maybe if those creating tutorials to help fellow users could tag accordingly, it would help with looking for such tutorials. The organised listing suggested by Ed seems a great place to start and doesn’t require anyone to be responsible for that organisation; it becomes a shared task by Tags.
Many thanks again for taking the time to reply, much appreciated!
Have a great day!
