The information was good. I did notice a couple of questions that, when answered wrong, had really weird stuff pop up in response. I wish I'd written them down. I really struggled with following the videos though because of the pacing. It's very obvious that a Text-to-Speech program was used to narrate them, and it didn't really take time to pause or inflect in ways that made it easy to follow without closed captioning. I recommend hiring a human voice actor instead; a company as big as IBM absolutely has the budget for it, and we humans are a lot more engaging. Like Michelle Sanchez from the Intro to IT Support videos! She was really charismatic and I looked forward to hearing her talk every time and she isn't even an actor (unless there was something she wasn't telling us...)
