Free Resources from the Net for EVERY Learner

My previous post was about an application that anyone can use to create screencasts.  Today, I’m writing about a collection of professionally created screencasts that are available online to help computer users answer all manner of questions about their hardware and software.  This is yet another resource I’ve learned about from that prolific blogger Larry Ferlazzo.

Woopid is an online source of helpful screencast tutorials that offer help with software and hardware questions, with a focus on both Mac and PC.  The screencasts are short and to the point, and they clearly show what you need to know.  The tutorials are well organized, and Woopid offers an effective search function.  If you can’t find what you need, you are even encouraged to request that Woopid create it for you.

With countless people having to make the switch to Office 2007, it’s good to know that, among many other topics, Woopid has created sets of tutorials that cover both Word 2007 and Excel 2007.  Woopid helps not only with installed programs, but also with online services and applications, including a set of screencasts that show how to use woopid!  Sets of tutorial screencasts on a particular application are conveniently bundled together.
