After a week off EDU Checkup does not make a grand return. Because of a technical error I recorded a whole episode on Monday, ran it through all the video filters uploaded and encoded it without realizing the audio didn’t come through. I was as totally bummed as you probably were.
So I changed from Snapz Pro X to ScreenFlow which I like 1000x better. It allows for more fine tuned control with the recordings. Bear with me for the first few while I am trying to get the quality setting worked out.
In addition it is an all request week! I have a bunch of public reviews in the queue and I am going to get to them all. Yesterday’s was University of Cincinnati which did not far so well in design or code but rocked the information category. Its the first site I had seen that gives acceptance rates and freshman ACT/SAT scores. They really did a great job.
If you would like me to review your site or one of your competitors you can submit it on the Suggest a Site form. I can do a public or private review in case you don’t want to share your rock star success with the world.
Reviews
Stay tuned to the @educheckup twitter account and RSS feed for more site updated in the coming weeks. Also if you have not subscribed to the iTunes feed yet its a great way to get new episodes automatically.
