As we move forward, we added a new course to our repertoire. This one has been very popular. In fact, many students have been turned away. We started our photo editing and composition course today. The ladies learnt how to edit photos - scaling, cropping, rotating, flipping and resizing were discussed. We then opened up windows movie maker and tried to use the photos to put together a movie with sample pictures and movies. The women found the class fairly informative and useful. The class was a big hit with the women but greater thought needs to be put into how this course fits into inherIT's larger agenda and why the women shouldn't just go to a normal course provider.
All the same, it was a pleasure to run and we learnt as much in preparing the course as they did in attending!

We added a few extras to the GIMP and movie maker operations we practiced last week and the women just went through and had a go at editing photos and putting together slideshows of photos with music. A few of them converted their movie maker project into a movie and took it home on USB sticks. This was an interesting short course that the women enjoyed a lot and it has been an interesting experience for inherIT. The interest in these courses is substantial and there may be some merit to including some of the material covered in the basic course.
