Online teaching sessions? - Page 3

If your get-ready DLs are actually suspicious or impractical and could be done better in a strike-manner (no-get-ready), I sure will teach that. However, the DLs I do in my videos aren't just strike-DLs. So basically you will improve on the DL but not necessarily end up with my DLs.

In case of the 'Pass', for instance, you are very likely to end up with the 'Practical Pass', which is one of the versions in which I improved on the 'Classic Pass' (making it more practical). However, it still is not the one seen in my 'Pass' videos, although it gets a whole lot closer to those than the classics and you may as well be able to do them like that once you know the basics of the 'Practical Pass'.

I hope that clears it up.

Btw Mark, I also found MSN webcam chat to work a lot better and never disconnects, unlike TinyChat. It rarely lags from my experience. Why not consider that as another platform? Simply create another MSN account just for eMprove

Because, although you may have found it work a lot better, in general people have tons of problems with it.. and so do I. Skype would do just fine, and for those who are too lazy to install any software and setup any account.. there is Tinychat.

Yesh.... I sheeeeeee yo' point.

But since there may be people like me *sad face*

I don't think it's a bad idea to put it as an option. There's nothing to lose, right?

I don't see how I can put it as an option if my MSN/WLM can't stand videochats.

Most of the time I use it, it freezes like crazy and faints more than Tinychat. A lot of the remaining times, either audio or video doesn't work. And I know many other people who got such problems (especially since Windows Live Messenger as in some of its versions the videochat option didn't work at all or was bugged by default).

In case I'd offer WLM sessions, I must add at least 30 minutes to each session due to technical problems. If there is something I hate to lose, it's time.

Oh okay, if it's a major problem on your side specifically too, then that's a different story. I thought it was okay for you, but just bad for some others >,.<

I'll take back my suggestion xD

Mark · 07-31-2011, 11:53 PM

I'm pretty sure I said "and so do I".

But yeah, maybe if I do them from my notebook, I can fix that problem (but that takes up more space for me on my desk).

If you have any other platform as suggestion, including but not limited to Windows Live Messenger, you can always ask it in the request and we will probably be able to arrange it, but it will not be in the default platforms to choose from. Those are guaranteed, any other wouldn't be.

.... ooVoo?

Sure. But instead of just naming random video chat platforms, what about you ask it when placing your 'eMprove' request.
