Camp Logos, Logos Bible Software, and the Difference Training Makes

Over at Bill’s Bytes, Bill spoke about his experience with Camp Logos, and how its influenced how he now uses Bible software. Here’s a snippet:

…Morris Procter, official trainer (former pastor) of Logos, truly knows how to teach in a way that’s interesting and practical. He knows how to engage his students. I got more out of the first hour than I thought I would’ve gotten from the whole camp! The camp turns the slow clunky Logos software into a indispensible lightening fast Bible Software! I found myself completely blown away by the software and how EASY it is to use once you learn a few things. CAMP LOGOS vastly exceeded my expectations…

Read the rest of Bill’s experience at Camp Logos.

This is a story that we can get around since we are  usually on the side of training people how to use their devices or software. It really does make a difference when someone takes some time with you to go through things, whether that is an hour or a few days.

That difference of training  (could we even refer to it as a form of digital discipleship) has always had the ability to make or break how people use computer software. Bible software is even more influential here. What Logos is doing with Camp Logos fits well into stewarding not only their product, but also helping to alleviate fears about how a product can be used.

We’ve had some similar responses from people once they’ve had some time to learn software or a gadget. There’s something to be said for someone taking a tool, and explaining it to you in a way that’s relevant to how you learn and how you want to use it.

How many of you are doing similar training/discipleship engagements with others? Or, are you in need of a particular kind of training? Let’s hear what might be missing in your or other’s experiences and like Logos, get folks looking at these tools in a better light.

    Thanks for quoting my article. I’m still GUNG-HO on Logos. I never thought a continuing education on SOFTWARE could be such a spiritual experience.
