An Online Training Simulation

Here I wanted to show an example of an Adobe Flash based online software tutorial or training simulation. I chose something pretty simple so that the subject would not overshadow the main goal which is to give an example of a tutorial containing two main parts. When you learn to drive a car, you are shown how to drive the car with a video, or someone shows you the controls of the car. Then, you are given the wheel and you put what you saw into practice until you have mastered the task. I have done a very similar thing with this tutorial concerning how to manage tabs in Protopage. Protopage is a web based desktop widget/customization applet written in AJAX or web 2.0 like technology. I have linked the tutorial here and made sure it opens in a new window so that when the audience member closes the tutorial when it is over, they are not navigated away from the parent window (This site in this case). Click here to start the simulation keeping in mind that I will be adding the audio and closed captioning in the next few weeks.
