WORDPERFECT PRESENTATIONS INCORPORATES QUICKTUTORS FROM
USABILITY SCIENCES CORPORATION
On-Line Tutorials Take "Tell and Show"
Approach in Helping Users
OREM, Utah July 14, 1993 WordPerfect Corporation today
announced the licensing of QuickTutors for use in WordPerfect
Presentations 2.0 for Windows. An advanced help technology
designed and developed by Usability Sciences Corporation,
QuickTutors are on-line tutorials that demonstrate how to perform
common tasks.
"QuickTutors will not only tell our users how to perform
specific tasks, but will show them how to perform those tasks,"
said Richard Whitehead, product marketing manager, WordPerfect
Presentations. "The information presented in these visual
tutorials will be easier for users to assimilate and remember."
"QuickTutors were developed as a result of our extensive
experience in usability testing. They provide help the way users
want help without requiring a significant time commitment," said
Jeff Schueler, president of Usability Sciences Corporation.
"Usability support products such as QuickTutors are becoming an
increasingly important part of PC software as companies strive
for usability enhancements as well as a lower cost of support."
QuickTutors are easily accessed from the Help pull-down menu
in WordPerfect Presentations 2.0 for Windows. Users simply click
on "QuickTutors...," select a QuickTutor from the dialog box, and
are presented with a description of what they are about to learn.
They press the spacebar or click on a button in the InfoBox and
the QuickTutor describes the action about to take place. Every
action necessary to perform the task is demonstrated and
explained at the users' own pace, and at the conclusion of the
QuickTutor a QuickCard appears giving them the opportunity to
work through the steps and accomplish the task in their own work.
QuickCards are also accessible for times when a user just
needs a quick reference card as a reminder on how to perform a
task. The QuickCard provides a list of steps that stays on the
screen while the user performs the task outlined on the card.
