After completing the course, you have indeed absorbed a good deal of information. To help you put that new knowledge to use, we have made two documents available within the course that we hope you will find helpful.
 
 
 
In the Assess your Course module, you'll find a carefully prepared Checklist and a very detailed Examples handout that you can save for future reference. The Checklist covers each element discussed and will help you evaluate your content as you create your courses. The two files are designed to be used together; the Checklist has references to location in the Examples Document for each item.
 
 
 
You'll find that the Checklist and Examples document cover all of the concepts presented in this basic introductory course.

==Adding Captions to YouTube Videos==
