Learning or Performance Strategy

Clark Quinn

In this case, the audience can’t be mandated with classes or tutorials. Taken with my backwards design diagram from the learning science book, I was tasked with determining what that means.

Tools and tradeoffs

Clark Quinn

Some of our tools are still not doing a good job of that, and the tutorials still tend to be focused on either product features or rote procedures, instead of helping you understand the software model underneath. You’ll want good defaults, and then the ability to customize. We could do a lot better!
