Chapter 1:  Introduction
Introduction

Congratulations on choosing On-Demand Interactive Learning . . . the most innovative interactive learning product available for today’s software applications.

On-Demand is unique in that it allows you to learn while you work. On-Demand users gain a well-rounded knowledge of software functionality, complete with a conceptual understanding and hands-on experience, by learning to use a program in both a simulated environment and while working with their own “live” data. The “down-time” often associated with off-site or classroom training can be virtually eliminated because of On-Demand’s ability to allow users to learn while they work.

A few clicks of the mouse is all it takes to access the information you need:

•	Click the Teacher button to activate On-Demand Interactive Learning.

•	Click the resulting menu, then click to select a topic.

•	Click one of four available playback mode buttons as follows: Demo, Teacher, Concept, or Concurrent.


Adding Sound Files to a Network


Using Concept Mode

While it is important to learn how to perform a task, it is also important to learn when and why you would perform a task. On-Demand’s Concept mode displays the key concept of a topic, and helps you gain a better understanding of a program feature and how it relates to your everyday use of the application.

Use the following procedure to learn how to use On-Demand’s Concept mode.

1.	Click the Teacher button [image] to display the Interactive Training - Lesson Selection dialog box, if necessary.

2.	Select the topic describing the task you want to learn to complete.

3.	Click the Concept button.

When done viewing the concept, click anywhere or press any key to remove the information from your screen.

Using Demo Mode

Demo mode enables you to learn by watching an animated demonstration of operations being performed in a simulated application environment.  All required activities, such as moving the mouse and selecting menu items, are completed automatically.

When you are working in Demo mode, you can stop the demonstration at any time by pressing the [Esc] key. You can also pause it by holding down the [Shift] key. Releasing the [Shift] key resumes the demonstration.

Pressing the  [Esc] key removes the button. Depending on the topic being viewed, other buttons may also appear, including the Note, Tip, and/or Warning buttons.


Using Teacher Mode

Teacher mode enables you to learn interactively by prompting you to enter the necessary mouse clicks or keystrokes to complete tasks in a simulated application environment. When you are working in Teacher mode, On-Demand places a hotspot over the location where you need to complete an action.  The hotspot is outlined with a red marquee.  If you make a mistake, On-Demand prompts you to try again.  Note that since Teacher mode provides a simulated environment, active data and system settings in your application are protected. You can control the Teacher mode through buttons that appear at the bottom of the Teacher mode screen.

Note: Depending on the topic selected, additional buttons may appear. These include the Alternatives button, the Tip button, and the Warning button. Click here to view a description of all Teacher mode control buttons.

Technical Tips
Frequently Asked Questions

After starting On-Demand from Windows 95, I cannot start the lessons.  What should I do? After starting On-Demand, click anywhere in the Windows 95 desktop; the light on the Teacher button will turn green.  At this point, you can click the Teacher button and start the lessons.

I started On-Demand, but I only have one button. Now what? On-Demand is designed to run within your application. Make sure that your application is started, and that you have On-Demand installed for the proper version of your software. There are sometimes different versions of On-Demand for 16-bit and 32-bit software applications. Lotus Notes 4.0 for instance, is a product that has separate On-Demand versions for 16-bit and 32-bit systems.

The sound will not play.  What should I do? The first thing you should do is determine whether sound is available to you from another application.  If, after testing the application you find that sound is available, use the following procedure to ensure that On-Demand is configured correctly.

1.	Position on the directory where On-Demand has been installed, and use an ASCII text editor to open the WINGS.INI file.

2.	Insert the line CD=[driveletter] setting in the [Global] section of the file.  The setting should point to the drive where you access On-Demand.

Example:  If you access On-Demand from within F:\APPS\ONDEMAND, the appropriate setting would be:

[Global]
CD=F

Note:  ":" or "\" characters are not necessary.

3.	Save the file.

Also note that there are several ways to install On-Demand. Sound files may not be installed on your system. Note the following install options:

•	Minimal install - copies the basic program files to your computer, but requires the CD for graphics and sound.

•	Standard install - copies all program files to your computer, but requires the CD for sound.

•	Full install - copies all program and sound files to your computer.

When I start On-Demand, I get the error “Scout Wings Database Error - Invalid Database” and I can’t go any further. How do I fix this? On-Demand requires that you have Read, File Scan, Write, and Modify rights specified for a user. If you have On-Demand installed on a network, be sure that you have proper rights to the On-Demand directory.

When I start On-Demand, I get an error message that the database is corrupted. How do I repair it? First, delete the wings.ini file from the Windows directory. Then, delete the vista.taf file from the On-Demand directory/folder. Start On-Demand to verify that this solves your problem. If not, you may need to reinstall On-Demand.

I am a network administrator who does not want users to run the On-Demand sound files on their workstations. How can I do this? Do a Standard install of On-Demand. Then delete all occurrences of the workshop.ini file in the On-Demand directory and any subdirectories where it may appear. Confirm that the wings.ini file contains the following settings:

[Workshop]

EnableSound=Off

[InstNote]

Media=Text


Concurrent mode

Learning mode that enables you to learn interactively, while you work, without leaving your application.


Running Multimedia Files from a Local CD-ROM

If you want to access On-Demand’s audio content on a stand-alone PC, you can run the sound files directly from the CD-ROM. For network distribution, the sound files must be installed on a server. Sound files average 20-25MB per module.

I am using a Lotus title in OnDemand. While in concurrent mode, I see a message in the Topic window indicating that the “context is lost”.  Why does this happen, and what should I do?

At this point of the task, On-Demand requires that the focus be on the InfoBox, but the focus is actually on the workspace. Click the titlebar of the InfoBox to change the focus of the application and to continue in Concurrent mode.


Selecting Topics
The Interactive Training - Lesson Selection dialog box is the central area from which you can view and find available training modules, lessons, and topics, and launch your desired topic in any of On-Demand’s training modes. The dialog box contains three pages: Contents, Search, and Topics for. The purpose of each page is to help you view and locate training relevant to your specific needs.

The following table contains a summary of each page, as well as a description of each of the buttons available in the dialog box.

Contents	Displays all modules, lessons, and/or topics available. Click the plus sign (+) to expand the listings, and click the minus sign (-) to contract the listings. A description of each topic appears below the listings, when selected. There are three options on the Contents page:  Modules - Groups the topics by module. Expanding modules displays the lessons within.  Lessons - Groups the topics by lesson. Expanding lessons displays the topics within.  All Topics - Completely expands the topic listing.
Search	Allows you to quickly locate topics of interest. You can enter a keyword to find all related topics.  Example:  You could type the word page to find all topics that refer to page setup, page breaks, etc.  The matching topics are displayed in the Pick the Topic list box.  A description of each topic appears below the listings, when selected.
