Hi: Being a trainer of access technology, I feel qualified to put in my two cents worth on this discussion, but since the penny is no longer produced in Canada, I will have to round it off to five cents. :) You may keep the change. :) I have been a trainer of Window-eyes and other blindness products since the DOS days, and I have had success showing my clients one way of performing the tasks that I was training them to do. As they would get more advanced, I would show them alternative methods. Sometimes, a client would discover another way to perform that task, and I am happy with that, because that means that he/she understands the process and is willing to experiment.
I have to say though, that Steve is in a different position than those of us who do one on one training, because he is essentially speaking to a multitude of people who arde using all types of desktops or laptops, and all operating systems from Windows 7 to Windows 10, whereas people such as myself and several other people on this list are face to face with one indivual with one computer using one operating system, and we can therefore determine the easiest and most direct way for him or her to perform a given task.
