Training Videos

There are demo movies which walk you through using features of each FieldWorks application. You can also get to them from the Help menu. Most of the demo movies are quite old, but are still applicable. The demo movies have been moved to Vimeo. To view a list of available movies, click here. A list of videos from the DLS group is at https://sites.google.com/sil.org/dls-course/videos.
