~~It would be good if unsupervised new learners grasp~~ the ~~functionality~~ of the ~~frame~~ and ~~start~~ to ~~navigate confidently in their first session~~.

What we demonstrated.

~~I have introduced two new learners~~ to ~~Sugar on a Stick and felt~~ the ~~need~~ to ~~provide some sort~~ of ~~crib~~ to ~~get them started. It was~~ in ~~the form of a postcard similar to the image here~~.

:Show/Hide Frame happens by the action of the cursor.

:Hot spots at corners '''and''' edges of the screen to activate/hide frame. Behavior is of '''easily variable''' sensitivity.

:You don't need to memorize the function buttons - the F1 to F4 keys lie directly under the respective icons.

:A reminder of what the four icons represent.

We gave instructions on how to change cursor behavior in My Settings => Frame.

~~:'''What to try to convey.'''~~

Did you notice?

:~~::Show~~/~~Hide~~ Frame ~~happens by~~ the ~~action of the cursor.~~

:F6 locks/unlocks the Frame, but also allows you to glimpse the Frame briefly.

~~:::Hot spots at corners '''and''' edges to activate/hide frame. Behavior is of '''easily variable''' sensitivity~~. ~~Define HowTo variable~~

~~:::You don't need to memorize~~ the ~~Function buttons - F1~~ to ~~F4 lie directly under the icons~~.

== Feedback from Testing==

~~:::A reminder of what the four icons represent~~.

Thank you for taking the time to test this mini tutorial. The target audience is very new users.

~~::F6 locks/unlocks frame, but also allows~~ you ~~to glimpse frame~~. ~~''Is it always F6?''~~

Did it work for you? Please leave some feedback if you feel like it.

Feedback from new users would be especially appreciated. Thank you.

~~:'''Ideas'''~~

~~What was the first hurdle you had to overcome on day 1?~~

~~This stuff is fully covered~~ in the ~~Floss manual~~

== Background ==

~~but IMHI does not jump out at you fast enough!~~

I have introduced two new learners to Sugar on a Stick and felt the need to provide some sort of crib to get them started. It was in the form of a postcard printed with an image similar to the one used here.

~~Judging from the "undiscoverable" pages, others have failed to solve some very basic navigation challenges on day 1.~~

~~:'''Further Ideas ... not day 1, but sessions 2 to 10'''~~

~~:'''Presentation'''~~

~~Is conveying this information in a small image, a good idea?~~

~~What should be added or taken away?~~

~~My ambition would be to link some sort of variant of this file to:~~

~~[[Getting Started]]~~

~~[[Sugar on a Stick/Explore]]~~

~~http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/~~

~~and/or a Micro_Help, perhaps packaged as a one frame activity?~~

== Comments ==

This is a good idea, that when perfected, could be used in the SoaS boot animation (perhaps limited to the first few boots) or as a special help panel that appears on the first few uses of the Frame, to assist new users. Thinking in those terms might reduce the images to the essential elements to fit the Sugar design theme.

:::Thanks, both, for feedback. Perhaps some sort of hint to check out "my settings/frame" could be included. "Crib Sheet Activity" sounds good. --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 07:30, 27 October 2011 (EDT)
