Good day ___________________________________________________________ I have written a letter to: kde-edu at mail.kde.org, and ask you to support an extra rapid edu. tool project descriped bellow. Please. ___________________________________________________________
A current tutorial (with static text and images) cannot provide rapid edu. process (with visual, audial and motoric tutorial). It can impact new users to apply KDE. Users do not want to read extra long texts to understand tiny bit of information. I propose to do an extra-rapid edu. tool. A SCREENSNAP SLIDE-MAKER to provide a visual retranslation of information. It gives more compact files than video-tutorial, and is fit to spread it via slow net lines. AN AUDIO SUBTITLE-MAKER to provide an audial comments "what a user must do" or "what the user right now has done"(to fix a new knowledge in his audial memory). Users will have no problem with local voice comments, because it is simple to make. A REMOTE-CONTROL EMULATOR to train a motoric memory of the user. It control user's motions: to press a key or a button, drag, drop, select, etc. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This tool works in three modes: ShowMeDo, TellMeDo and DoMeDo. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Example 1.SHEDULER. If user will read a tutorial text "how to insert a task in a friend's shedule via internet" he will have to spent 10 minutes to read it, 10 mins to understand and 10 mins to repeat it in action. In general he will have spent 30 minutes. It is too long. But, if he will use the multimedia training tool, he will have got experience during 1 min. Feel difference? Example 2. GRAFIC EDITING. A skillful user can build a complex figure during 1 minute. That is he can press 10-20 functional buttons. A beginner can repeat a master work as fast as the master do. Users will like KDE for extra-rapid edu. tool. And it can impact new developers in KDE society. I think that a skillful developer can make first version of the ExtraRapidTutorial during one week. All components for this tool are ready. A Remote Control tool to manipulate with mouse and keyboard. A Screensnap. A Dictaphone. etc. Thanks.
