Adding Help and Reference Information
In this presentation, we have used a number of
abbreviations and terms that the learner may not
be familiar with. Providing an index of these
abbreviations and terms can aid in learner
comprehension. Your materials or exercises may
also require a descriptive “help” page to ensure the
learner is capable of using the program and
interface features.You may need multiple
reference and help screens to ensure the user
achieves the learning goals of your program.
