<br>
Today we did a fair amount of work creating the user and
administrator exercise book for CiviCRM. Still lots more
completing of exercises and proof reading, etc., to do but we
think there is a decent structure in place now and shouldn't be
too hard to finish off.<br>
<br>
We transferred the exercises (actually we are now calling them
tasks for some reason) from the wiki to the book and came up with
a standard task format, which is basically:<br>
<ul>
<li>summary of the task</li>
<li>instructions on how to do the task (numbered if there are a
lot of them)</li>
<li>data that should be used in the task (in formatted)<br>
</li>
<li>space for notes (you can write on paper with a pen or
pencil, FYI)<br>
</li>
<li>any tips about the task<br>
</li>
</ul>
The book has three sections:<br>
<ul>
<li>
intro</li>
<li>exercises<br>
</li>
<li>finding out more<br>
</li>
</ul>
The exercise section is broken down into chapters which are
one-to-one with a hands one session that we will carry out during
the training. The chapters (h1) are further broken down into h2s
to help people find their way through the exercises.<br>
<br>
You can see the work in progress here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://booki.flossmanuals.net/civicrm-user-and-admin-exercises/_full/">http://booki.flossmanuals.net/civicrm-user-and-admin-exercises/_full/</a><br>
<br>
We plan to make each task summary an h3 and then style the css
with an image to the left of the heading to show it is a task
(rather than what we are currently doing which is bolding them and
sticking a image above them.<br>
<br>
I think we'll handle the notes area by making an image with a fair
amount of vertical white space and a 'keep with before' to avoid
any nasty page breaks and avoid any nasty page breaks).<br>
<br>
It would be great if we could get some div handling or something
similar for 'data' and for 'tips' to avoid us using but I know
that can be a huge pain so not holding my breath :)<br>
<br>
Hopefully I haven't gone into too much detail here and people are
still with me :)<br>
<br>
Would be good to get people's feedback on what we have done so far
and if people have any time to improve what we have done that
would be awesome.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Michael<br>
