Focus on Lesson at workshop launch

[jonasmit]

One thing that would be valuable to direct the learner through the material is to have the video lecture of the content in focus when the workshop loads/launches. The advantage would be to provide orientation and prevent the learner from going through the slides offered manually via links before having the context from the instructor

@jonasmit is this a requirement for launch or a nice to have down the road if they prove useful?

[jonasmit]

I would make it an enhancement not a launch blocker

In terms of a solution for this:
With the series capability you could have the video play first in sequence, then transition to the workshop.
OR
We can solve inside of Educates somehow by feature request or the focus javascript. Perhaps we can talk to folks about optimal design?

What about the intro on the left immediately do a "Click here to get started" kind of thing and that's all a person sees so it's obvious. It can then leverage the clickable dashboard options:

That works for me - easy fix - and we definitely want to push folks towards the video that is already there.

I just wanted to point out Jorge's comment. If we leave the Video embedded in Educates, that does increase the resources consumed for the cluster. At the moment, that is no issue but it could become a design constraint. At some point, is it better to have the video viewed prior to launched the workshop via series? We should do a design session on this to think through options.

@jonasmit @djschny Regarding the lecture materials, I am thinking we will want to take it out of the workshops altogether, but only after we have an external mechanism to drive a learning flow.
