Content ok, but very difficult to make notes

November 22, 2022

It is impossible to copy/paste items in the online course, which means you have to type/write out notes that could easily have been copied. The speed is okay for just listening, but too fast to take notes, and there is no speed control, so you have to keep pausing the video. The screen is such that the pause button is below a laptop screen, so you have to scroll down to hit pause, which sometimes means I couldn’t pause fast enough. The videos do not allow you to back up on the first play, so if you miss a note you need to finish the whole video before you can try to hunt for the part you missed. Last, why not just include a pdf or word doc of the notes written out, that would make it much easier to get the notes but keep going through the content.
