My colleague attended this course in March with a different instructor and learned so much. Her instructor took her through the Adobe InDesign Classroom in a Book, using the files to create a variety of documents. My experience was quite different. While it was clear this instructor was very knowledgeable, we did not actually start working in InDesign until 2:30 on the first day. I think since there were participants in person, as well as online, and was a full week course, with the beginner portion only lasting the first two days, it probably made it challenging for the instructor to determine which information was pertinent to give only the first two days. Since many of the in person participants were taking the class the full week, his pace was probably great for them. Since I was only taking the intro the first two days, I wanted to actually dive in and learn how to add text, images, etc. Instead we spent hours on settings and beginner information regarding file types (GIF/TIFF/JPG) and project setup. We learned about RGB and pixels, and how to search Youtube and Google for information about InDesign, but I would have liked to have that information be more of a mention rather than a full on lesson and had more of an opportunity to work within the program. I plan to work through the book on my own, as the trainer said he does not like using the book but it seems pretty informative.
