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

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.

:::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.

:::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.

This stuff is fully covered in the Floss manual

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)
