The information was beneficial, and the training was painless. I would like to see more interaction (exercises), and I did not like that if I wanted to go back a few seconds on the video, I had to watch the whole video over, when I just wanted to listen to the previous 15 seconds, for example. Perhaps you could add a fast-forward and rewind button.
