The KnowledgeBase is designed to communicate information using a variety of methodologies. Since not all people take in information in the same way, the intention is to offer a text based guide, short recorded screencasts, presentation slides as well as webinar recordings.  All of these delivery tools will be found in the KnowledgeBase wiki, integrated into the Table of Contents framework.
