Subject:Effective use of video in software tutorials? From:Keith Purtell <keithpurtell -at- keithpurtell -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:27:18 -0500
I'm gradually building our library (on a wiki) of tutorials about our
in-house software. Knowing that there are different learning styles,
including visual learning, I want to include video. I've got the
software I need; it does a good job of recording on-screen activity. The
question is what to present. Most of our procedures are too lengthy to
do a full start-to-finish video. So my question is, what are some
suggestions for the criteria I develop to decide what parts of my
documentation would be best supplemented by video?
