The video shows the teacher working with Avid moviemaking software on Mac computers from the early 2000's. It doesn't seem very practical. In my opinion, because these kinds of programs are designed to be extra user friendly, most of them can be figured out by a person with basic computer skills without any instruction. Along those same lines, they often have different interfaces which don't apply to any other programs, so learning one of these inside and out seems like a waste of time to me. The students don't seem all that into it. The instructor is hanging over one of the students like a mother, which is kind of weird. All in all, I don't think working with these programs in class time is an effective way to use time.
Eh, maybe it is. Who knows.
