Slide 4 clearly outlines course objectives—what learners will be able to do after completing each module. Learners click on the objective to be taken to the corresponding module.
Slide 10 introduces the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the context of martial arts, the path to victory in the sport of BJJ, and the goals of this course. The video was shot using the eGlass lightboard and edited using Camtasia.
Slide 13 is an assessment that checks the learner's knowledge before moving onto the next module.
“This is Di’s best work on so many levels. Being involved in BJJ myself and a life time martial artist I understand the subject matter very well. This [lightboard intro] clip is well organized directed towards an audience seeking information on a martial art. In this clip I see teaching, his material is organized and easy to follow. This information meets the needs of the intended audience who are asking the question ’what is?’”
-Rick Geist, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, instructor, and international competitor
