It was New Year's eve of the new millennium and I was working like mad to post 25 articles  to the "first ever" issue of Alexander Magazine before the clock struck midnight.  As I remember, I beat the deadline by 4 minutes.  
     My new magazine would be entitled "Alexander Advanced Training Magazine" and would feature intermediate and advanced level articles on the recording arts, for a fee.  Over the last 35 months we certainly have published a lot of information and we have a respectable amount of users that study our material.  But after 3 years of offering recording training on the web, I am beginning to understand what is more needed and wanted by our users than a magazine.  Because of this we are switching formats to more fully express our basic purpose - which is training.
     The big thing that you will notice (as a user) is the addition of full study modules.  Users seem to like a complete picture on a subject, arranged in the best order of study.  Each small "lesson" advances the user's understanding to the point that quite advanced information and applications can be presented to the user.  Section quizzes allow the student to be sure that understanding has been achieved and the user can bypass the study section if the information is already known - the quiz verifies this.  Thus one study module on a subject can be useful for the beginner, the intermediate and advanced user student.  See our description of the new RID Production School study module to get a better idea of what I am talking about.
     The subjects that can be studied with RID/Alexander study modules arte subjects that Recording Institute Of Detroit students study in the campus programs.  When you complete study on the modules, there is a final theory examination that can be taken online.  With a successful exam, RID will issue a theory completion certificate on the subject that can be directly used as credits for RID campus study.  This reduces campus tuition and attendance requirements.
