I think the Kodak Digital Learning Center is a good example of what can be done with on-line interactive learning:

My idea is to have a CD that one could give to a newbie and let him/her take it home to play on the computer. It would give him a nice overview of what is expected of him when he starts working "for real". As this person progresses, I would give him more CDs that go into more and more detail on different subjects, like xenon lamp changing and replacing diodes, etc.
Aside from the time issues involved I have to find some guys in my area that are good enough to help make the video. (And who LOOK good enough to be IN the video.
)
