: 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)

I have also preferred to avoid hiding links that go off-site. My reasons are to avoid distraction, simplicity, and orientation.

: 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.
