Nan,
The validation session which I did in the Bookshare Community room was awful
because not many people who validate showed up. You really may not find it
very helpful at all. It makes me sound and look terrible!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Training?
I wonder if Bookshare has any training materials online? I've gotten the
basic concept, but someone wrote to me off list to go over the
responsibilities of validators in a nice concrete helpful way that has
really boosted my confidence. I know several of you are rolling your eyes
and thinking, "Sheesh, how hard can it be?" but the fact is people have
different learning styles and that doesn't mean they have lower
intelligence.. this is true of everyone. Just look up "learning styles" on
the web.
I am thinking had I been directed to some sort of text or spoken
overview/training it would have helped me feel less like I was dropped into
a task with just the general framework of what I supposed to be doing there.
If this already exists.. and someone else told me about a chat on the topic
too which I am about to go listen to, then wonderful.. Was I told?
OK, now let's get one thing straight.. I am absolutely not criticizing or
complaining.. I know a thing or two about all this volunteer stuff and know
what works and what does not. So just please take my questions as sincere
desiring to do my very best as a volunteer and freebie advice from someone
who used to get paid for it.
Sorry if I sound touchy.. I just don't want to get jumped on like I was on
the other list.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Nan
