Purpose and focus of presentation
A video library can be a better solution for introducing new concepts to clients, for providing user assistance and for effective user training.

From Quill to iPad is a case study showing how the presenter's video set has been created, hosted and used. Grant's last presentation, Video Killed the Redundant Writer, encapsulated the thought processes and decisions to be made prior to creating videos. From Quill to iPad showcases the next steps.

You will learn of the actual making, hosting, dissemination and usage of both internal and external help and other videos. You will delight in the modest successes and be captivated by the spectacular failures. Dreary coding and other stuff (technical term) will be avoided in this presentation. All relevant technical details are available in the extensive accompanying notes.

Key audience questions or issues addressed

• When is video the answer and what are its financial and other benefits?
• Where should you host your videos and will they run in all browsers and on all devices?
• Which free tools save you time and money and why is the iPad (not free) such a fabulous video creation tool?
• What mistakes can you learn from and avoid?
