INTRO--In Which a Smart Terminal Teaches Its Own Use,

Abstract : The use of processor aided display stations (PADS) can be facilitated, especially for novice users, by incorporating on-line instructional aids under control of the station processor. In PADS laboratory an interactive display sequence called INTRO provides such guidance, teaching beginners how to use the station keyboard and lightgun in conjunction with the Sanders 720 display. This report describes the INTRO scheme and presents performance data from six people who used the scheme for training during the recent PADS test program. (Author)
