Welcome to a short sample lesson created with CBIquick. Pay close attention...there is a QUIZ at the end.
In this sample lesson, most steps encourage you to perform the operations. If you make mistakes, the correct click location or key will be highlighted. You can also simply press the -> button above to see the operation demonstrated for you. Clicking on the "Jump" button above will display a list of lesson topics to select from at any time.
This lesson will guide you through interactions with a program called LazaLabl, which creates labels that can be printed on a laser printer. The label creation process begins with selection of the label stock. We will be using "Avery Labels" in this example.
Click on the "Stock" menu option, then select "Avery Labels" from the pulldown menu.

Typical CBIquick lessons are 15 minutes in length and take about 600K on a distribution floppy. A complete 2 hour interactive course can fit on 3 floppies if no voice is used. A 2 hour course with voice would be about double (6 or 7 floppies). The data for this sample lesson takes less than 190K if no voice is included. On the users PC, lessons are unpacked only when needed, further reducing disk requirements.

The simulation is created automatically as you simply run your application once.
Then you use the CBIquick Authoring System menu------>
to add PopUp messages, voice, music, graphics, video, and interaction hot-spots.
Finally, use "Create Disk"---->
to automatically build the final distribution diskette(s) or CD.
Development is FAST and requires no special technical skills !

In conclusion, here are a few key points...
A 15 minute application training lesson can be created in as little as ONE DAY by someone familiar with the application being taught. No special technical skills are needed. Development is "WYSIWYG" with no scripting or coding of icons etc. Learning to use CBIquick is simple and non-technical. You will be PRODUCTIVE the first day!

The application simulation is created as you run your application once just as you want the student to run it. You capture simulation segments as 5 to 7 minute building blocks. The finished lessons look and act like the original application, without the application being present. The captured simulation segments are highly compressed to take the minimum disk space...

The developer may include video (stills or full motion), graphics, voice, and music at any step. Voice is added by simply scanning through the simulation and speaking into the mic. at the appropriate steps. These simple text screens were created with PAINT. If your users have 256 color, you can add video sequences to your lessons.
