I'm going a little wacky trying to navigate the videos on the AAW website, in particular the couple of series that have recently been promoted in newsletters to the membership. These are really good, so it hurts that its so painful to navigate them.
For example, I started watching the Voices videos on design. I had to go through some rigamarole, logging into the site a second time and agreeing to a lot of legal boilerplate before being able to see the first video, but when I got to the end there were no navigation buttons. No option to see the next video in the series, no option to go back to the index of videos, and even the browser back button took me not to the page I had left with the index of videos but back to the long legal agreement.
At least these videos are reasonable length (quite good too!), the Giles Gilson videos, also recently promoted, are tiny snippets only a minute or two long that require a seeming dozen clicks to navigate from one to the next. It would be great if, like on Youtube the next video would cue up at the end of whichever you were watching. Or at least stitch them together so that they were 5-10 minute segments.
I'd happily pay an extra buck in my dues to allow the group to afford a few more navigation buttons! The content is really worthwhile.
