ഈ കോഴ്സിനെപ്പറ്റി ഒന്ന് നോക്കുന്നത് കോഴ്‌സിന്റെ കണ്ടെന്റ് നിർമ്മിക്കുന്നവർക്ക് ചിലപ്പോ ഉപകരിക്കും. കണ്ടിട്ട് അഡോബിന്റെ ഒരു പ്രൊമോഷൻ ആണെങ്കിലും കുറച്ച് ഐഡിയ കിട്ടും.

അതുപോലെ ഇടയ്‌ക്ക് ഒരു ഡിജിറ്റൽ ലിറ്ററസിക്ക് പറ്റിയ ഒരു വെബ്സൈറ്റ് കണ്ടതാ. മോസില്ലയുടെ മറ്റോ ആയിരുന്നു അതെന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു. അതിന്റെ ഫൂട്ടർ സെക്ഷനിലോ മറ്റോ മോസില്ലയുടെ ഒരു ലോഗോ കൊടുത്തിരുന്നു. ഞാൻ അപ്പൊ ബുക്മാർക്ക് ചെയ്യാനും വിട്ടുപോയി. ഇപ്പോഴാണെങ്കിൽ അത് നോക്കിയിട്ട് കിട്ടുന്നുമില്ല. നല്ല കണ്ടെന്റ് ആയിരുന്നു അതിലെ. അതിനെ ട്രാൻസ്ലേറ്റ് ചെയ്‌താൽ തന്നെ നന്നായിരുന്നു. കിട്ടാൻ ചാൻസ് ഉണ്ടോന്ന് നോക്കട്ടെ.
