Bee Docs' Timeline Webcast Now Available

Last month I did a live hour long presentation hosted by Mac Learning Environments at Apple along with about 20 minutes of questions and answers.

The archive of that presentation is now available through iTunes U. You can click here to watch the Bee Docs' Timeline presentation in iTunes.

In the video, I give a step-by-step tutorial showing how to creating and style a basic timeline. I also walk through an example of getting a 17-page timeline to fit on one page for printing. Please check it out and let me know what you think, particularly if you are just getting started with Bee Docs' Timeline.

ScreenCastsOnline: Bee Docs' Timeline

This week Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline features a video of Bee Docs' Timeline.

Don contacted me a few weeks ago to let me know that he wanted to use Bee Docs' Timeline in a presentation he was giving in Las Vegas and also wanted to feature the software on his video podcast. He asked if there was anything that I'd like him to include and I passed along a few of the most frequently asked questions that I get asked:

• What are the basics steps of creating timelines with Bee Docs' Timeline?
• How do you use full motion 3D timelines with Keynote?
• How do you format a timeline to fit on a single page?

I admit that my own videos and help documentation are lacking in response to these issues at the moment, but Don did a great job of addressing these common concerns.

If you are a Bee Docs' Timeline customer or are thinking of becoming one, the 37 minute video is a must watch. Especially the part where Don shows how he built his amazing Keynote presentation using 3D timelines.

Parallel Timeline

Parallel timelines are a powerful tool for comparing historical events in different categories (for example, art and literature). They can also be used to compare witness testimonies in the courtroom.

This week, I posted a Parallel Timeline Tutorial on the Bee Documents web site. Download Bee Docs' Timeline if you haven't yet, and give it a spin on the tutorial.
