Agree with you especially about the training classes, multi levels would be
a good idea.

Subject: [Vantage] Re: E-learning audio quality questions?
After waiting my turn for the soapbox, here goes.
It might be beneficial if there was a script written and practiced
before recording the e-learning session. On more than one session,
it seemed like the instructor was winging it and would talk himself
into an example that the data wasn't set up to support.
Oh, and if I heard how a memo field works once, I heard it 50
times. There should be a Vantage Basics class and then all other
classes should assume the basics are understood.
I doubt there will be any changes for 6.1 e-learning, but maybe 8.0
lessons will be better.
