Mobile Ed Logos 6

Gerard Shanley

Questions:

1.How does Mobile Ed plan to integrate the new version Logos 6 within the existing video courses that were released using Logos 5?

2. Specifically- many segments of the courses involve examples based upon Logos 5 are they going to be updated to demonstrate Logos 6?

3.  Are the new courses that are about to be released going to use Logos6?

4.Particularly I think the Academic Training videos by Morris Proctor absolutely will need updating - is that in the works? The Quick Start in Logos 6 is good but not nearly as in depth.

Hi Gerald, 

I manage the screencast portion of Mobile Ed. I'll do my best to answer your questions.

We will still be releasing some new courses with screencasts in Logos 5 and the remaining future courses with screencasts in Logos 6.

The new courses that will be released with screencasts in Logos 5 are:

• The remaining courses in the Missions and Church Planting Bundle
• The Text of the Bible Bundle
• Witherington's The Wisdom of John (NT221)
• Gary Thomas' Introducing Spiritual Formation (PD201)
• Craig Evans Bundle

We did not record these in Logos 6 because they were already in the production queue and we didn't want for people who had pre-purchased them to wait any longer than is absolutely necessary.

Screencasts for courses that release after those courses have been and will continue to be recorded using Logos 6; including:

• Litfin's Western Civilization (CS201)
• The Eric L. Johnson Pastoral Counseling Bundle
• Bobby Conway's Introducing Evangelism (ED121)
• The Apologetics Bundle
• The Studies in the Gospels Bundle (except for NT252, NT253, and NT311 as they were either part of a previous bundle or already in the production queue)
• Doug Moo's New Testament Theology (NT305)
• the Between the Testaments Bundle
• Longman's Book Study: Exodus (OT306)
• Bock's Learn to Study the Bible (BI100)
  

At the moment, we are looking into what would be involved to update the screencasts into Logos 6 and how it would affect the production of new courses. There is a good deal of cross functionality between Logos 5 and Logos 6 and many of the changes that affect screencasts revolve around terminology, user interface placement, and base package resource changes. Therefore, a good deal of the screencasts made with Logos 5 in mind will also work in Logos 6 (they just won't show off all of Logos 6's cool new features/capabilities/resources). 

I believe Morris Proctor is working on video training for Logos 6 and we are hoping to have it available in Mobile Ed. If we are able to produce it, I'm not sure whether it will be an update or a new product.

Along with the Quick Start, I really suggest following our Youtube channel for video tutorials on Logos 6 (or periodically check our training page).
