::: I did not know about those. I included the directory of .pdf to illustrate how to download a file from a known directory. The exercise was quite illuminating for my tester. --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 18:41, 5 December 2011 (EST)

I can see the technical improvement that has been made to [[Getting_Started/Explore#Configuration]]. However please could you review [[User:Inkyfingers/Getting_Started(1)]], which I have adjusted, bearing in mind that my presentation is almost-a-tutorial and tries to avoid links off-site. I have also preferred to avoid hiding links that go off-site. My reasons are to avoid distraction, simplicity, and orientation.

: A tutorial is good, but should be entered by choice, as the style is so different. Perhaps the declarative guidance appears and it is followed by a collapsed tutorial section or a link to a section on a separate page of tutorials. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 15:35, 6 December 2011 (EST)

: This can be useful in context, however, the standard wiki style includes a large number of hyperlinks for reader directed, non linear navigation best determined by the reader, as is common on [[Wikipedia:Wiki#Navigation]]. Within this context, one learns to follow only the hyperlinks for a reason rather than because they have been presented.  Within a tutorial, one presumably submits oneself to the navigation of the author, so links that may distract would be carefully chosen. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 15:35, 6 December 2011 (EST)
    
I think it is interesting to share that pre-production I followed [[How to present Sugar]]. As my idea developed /Presentation was aimed at parents ( my children), and /Explore at very young new learners, (their children). I then edited out some more "clunky" parts to try to avoid addressing any reader in a pejorative way and out of self-consciousness! I notice I have completely removed any sense that a parent can follow /Presentation in their own time while a child could work through /Explore at their own speed. I am not an Adobe fan but I find a .pdf presentation useful because its stability aids orientation.

In my experience well written copy addressed to an eight year old can be understood by most adults and participating children, and easily speed read by an expert.--[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 04:34, 6 December 2011 (EST)

: I suggest that this testbed page re-enter the 'Under construction' tag while more design and presentation ideas are explored. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 15:35, 6 December 2011 (EST)
