I Would use the second method, but have the different tasks build on
each other. For eg. have a chapter on basic editing, that starts
with opening a file, and then moves to the different editing tasks.
As these manuals are written in a workbook style, I would have a
specific audio file that the reader would work on as they follow
through the workbook. So for the trimming example, I would have this
file require trimming of some unwanted sound that comes at the
beginning or end of the file, you have a specific part of the file
that you want to cut and move. Another skill that would be included
in this would be the selection of parts of the audio file that you
need to trim. I have found that most people Learn best when they
have a specific example to work through along side a manual/workbook
that is tailored to that example. The hardest part with this design,
is to come up with the example file to work with as would would need
to meet the specific criteria that require all the actions in the
workbook chapter to be carried out on the file.<br>
<br>
I would love to help with setting up this pilot, although my
experience with the specified applications has been pretty basic, I
have had to create a number of workbook style manuals on different
spreadsheet tools at work.<br>
<br>
You also talked before about what style of workbook would be best. I
think when it comes to learning skills, the style of manual you use
is quite different from that usually found in the documentation
section on most software sites. I have found that that usually just
tells you the technical aspects of how to use a tool. (e.g. you go
to this menu, adjust this option and click OK, etc.). When it comes
to manuals that will be used by trainers/educators in a teaching
situation, the manuals need to go in deeper and show how said tool
can be used to create a desired outcome.<br>

Another area is p2p2 - If we want to integrate this kind of
workbook with P2pu how does this best happen?<br>
<br>
To try to explore this I'm taking a course here - <a

<br>
I would welcome everyone to join me in this journey into p2pu!<br>

nice one<br>
