His next venture is a new eBook that he wants to offer for free. To make sure that it’s something that people really need and appreciate, he’s launched a simple survey. Questions include: "What is the topic that you need to learn more about to help you in every day work? What type of material do you prefer?" He wants to know what people really want, based on which he will prepare the tutorial eBook that will be downloadable for free.
We can soon have a universe full of books we want to read and learn, if every teacher starts doing it. Avid readers and learners cannot ask for more; it's a learners haven. Let's all help him write on what we want to learn by taking his survey. You can also discuss this in the e-teaching community here:
WiZiQ encourages such endeavors. Let's all join in to provide Marian with answers to his questions and help him in his noble cause of spreading learning and helping more people discover great new tools to fill their needs and improve efficiency.
Marian has been one of my favorite co-conspirators at WizIQ. I cannot adequately convey in words his accommodating style of teaching and demystifying of geeky stuff.
The best way for you to understand his winning style of helping to break through the technical barriers is to participate in some of his activities. Most people do not think of German's as great chefs, but Marian's preparation and serving of technical subjects is very palatable and delicious.
I "double dare" you. Taste and see, that he is good!
