These recent days class has been about learning to create the tutorial. When you are teaching someone something new, though words can be very beneficial, visual presentations are much more alluring. Many people find visual displays are more memorable and therefore effective. Using such logic, my group and I realized that we must use some sort of visual, video display.
Microsoft Encoder has the ability to memorize and then display all that one does on the computer. It follows every movement of the mouse making it possible to show exactly where to click and what to type. Furthermore, the program can record sound while you move your mouse around. The sound clip and video clip will therefore automatically be saved together making the process simple and effective.
Matt, Brandon and I plan on using the Microsoft Encoder to create our Microsoft Excel tutorial. The encoder will make the data entry and graph creation process simple to understand and use. The tutorial user will also be able to see how a graph made on Excel actually looks to see if it fits what they need. Since Excel is used to create a visual product, a visual tutorial is very beneficial. As we continue to make our tutorial I look forward to perfect my Encoder using abilities. I know that I will be able to use this program in the future.
For further information on the Excel Tutorial, my group members also have corresponding sites.
