You may already be familiar with the Datagain help tutorials available at www.mintec.ltd.uk/help/. These are documents which explain a variety of tasks when using Datagain.

We have now developed a series of e-learning tutorials that cover the same tasks but are delivered as videos to your desktop. This means that you can listen to a description of the tasks as they are demonstrated in the video. If you wish, you can pause the video and then replicate the tasks on your own Datagain system, rewinding if necessary to remind you of the steps.

Access to the e-learning is free so you are encouraged to try them out and let us know what you think. Just click on the e-learning link in Datagain (Help/e-learning tutorials) or on the link in the online help.

You can also go directly to the new of the e-learning tutorials at www.mintec.ltd.uk/e-learning/. For those of you who prefer learning on the move you can access the e-learning tutorials for iPhone and iPad at the same place. In the future we will be providing these tutorials with subtitles in English, French and German.
