There was a bit of talk around this during the early Max 7 days, but nothing conclusive ever said.

I guess this is really a question for someone at C74, so it would be nice to get some official info from them. As the title suggests - can we create lessons in Max 7, in the format of the official Max 7 lessons, and will there be any documentation on how to go about this?

It would be such a great teaching tool, and there are plenty of us who teach Max here.

Plus wouldn't it be great if this user created lesson content found its way back into future Max releases? It could become an awesome feature. "top rated lessons", etc.

great idea - especially welcome are lessons on items where the learning curve is steep and the documentations relatively sparse (yep, im thinking of the GEN objects here, perhaps in-depth shader creation info, etc ).

Glad to hear you guys are enjoying the Lessons feature. We are waiting on publishing information about the format, since the format is currently in flux and we don't want anyone putting energy into 3rd-party content that won't work in the future. In the meantime, I would encourage use of the built-in jweb object which runs a full-featured web browser window and provides hooks to pass messages into Max.

Thanks Andrew, I'll definitely check that out and will wait for more on building lessons.

@HZ37 - most definitely, I think that would really help new users.
