Especially software like Citilabs Cube, which has a much more difficult learning curve, would give a much better impression to their new users. Seeing how well the videos were received, I believe that the software houses could invest some time in creating their own video tutorials or giving incentives for users to do so.

The manuals are too dense and it is good to have a set of videos focusing in a more tangible way the most important points.

The videos allow them to learn and re-visit non-clear points at any time and/or.

People prefer to have a class on the software use instead of learning on their own (and a paid training session is too expensive).

Why do these videos have so many views? I have a few hypotheses: To my surprise I have over 9.000 views considering all videos, which is a lot more than I ever considered possible. In 2012 I created a second batch of videos, and now a third batch will be produced (during the Spring Quarter), so I went back to check how many views I had so far.

However, I started getting questions and comments from all over the world (currently I have a Canadian and an Algerian asking questions regularly). I produced about 15 to 20 videos at first, but by the end of the quarter I found out that very few of the students had seen it.

Since I already had professional experience with TransCad and already knew pretty well the theory of the 4-step model, I decided that IвЂ™d use some of my time as a TA to develop some material to help the students with TransCad features: A series of videos to help my students with their project and a text tutorial (the subject of a future post when it is more complete). McNally had put together a very detailed step-by-step tutorial for proceeding with the project development, some students had problems вЂњvisualizingвЂќ the instructions. The first time I thought this class was in 2011, and I found that even though Prof. This discipline on 4-step modeling with a very intense (textbook) project to be done in TransCad, and I am the one teaching the students about the software (currently the 5.0 version, but I hope we will get the 6.0 from Caliper eventually since they have been very kind in giving us the software in the past). Among the many activities I have there, I am the teaching assistant (TA) for CEE123, which is an undergraduate senior class created to teach the 4-step modeling process to senior undergraduate and graduate students.

The process is useful for describing the effects of a proposed transportation alternative and for explaining the benefits to the traveler of a new transportation system and its impacts on the community. It involves the elements of situation and problem definition, search for solutions and performance analysis, as well as evaluation and choice of project. This course provides an overview of the urban transportation planning process. It is intended to give further knowledge and training in the field of Transportation Planning. This is master course oriented for the students in civil engineering department-infrastructure.
