Hi all,
Excuse me for butting in here, but as an educator, I must agree with
K.C. There is a difference between a manual and a tutorial.
A manual lists features and gives commands for implimenting them. A
tutorial assumes that a person wants to learn how to use a given
item. The procedures for doing so are analyzed and broken down into
steps. Each step is then separated out, and sometimes pretests, and
post tests are given in addition to exercises for practice. There are
a set of goals outlined at the beginning of the tutorial, and each
goal is reached by a set of objectives, measureable tasks that if done
indicate if the student has learned what material has been presented.
I think that the manual, although very good, is a manual, not a
tutorial. This is nothing against Kate at all, just a fact. What
folks are asking for in text form is a tutorial.
