We got Boing'd
The AB 1825 course I wrote was mentioned in the blog Boing Boing, the hip-cool-pop-wow Directory of Wonderful Things.
In a post called Arnold's Fables: What Koko Wants, Dale Dougherty (editor and publisher of Maker Media) wrote in about taking an AB 1825 training course in which he read about Koko, the sign-language talking great ape. Then, he cites the text from our program (if you take our course, he's quoting from an exercise in Part III entitled "Case Study: Gorilla Suit")!
For those who haven't taken our course, you can also read our story about the case: Gorilla Suit Exposes Fetish.
I'd like to think the citation in Boing Boing is evidence of our success at creating a contemporary and memorable program. We know supervisors generally do not like being required to spend two hours away from their primary duties thinking about harassment, and we hoped our course would be informative, engaging, provocative, and entertaining. Having my text quoted in Boing Boing helps me feel we achieved our goals.
