These Acrobat tutorials go far beyond teaching the basics and highlight many of the tips and tricks that increase your creativity and workflow when using Acrobat in a commercial environment. Rather just listing a shortcut key combination along with a description like traditional manuals do, these Acrobat tutorials go far beyond simple keystroke shortcuts and use project based examples to highlight problems that users are likely to face when using Acrobat and then offer the solution, this method helps the user gain a solid understanding quickly.
Why do these tutorials use project based examples.
To deliver effective training a combination of factors have to be considered, just repeating facts and flashing screenshots before a user does little more that confuse. The objective is to get the user to retain the information, this is the hardest part, and for this you need to get the user to be able to relate to what is doing taught, this is where these tutorials score over conventional training methods. When the tutorials start a brief outline of the program and tools used is the first thing covered, this ensures that the users will be able to follow along without confusion, once these are completed the tutorials move on to more advanced topics, using project examples helps users to follow along and experience problems without the frustration of not having the answer to hand, this promotes active thinking, and develops your creativity. You have to ability to be able to stop the tutorials mid flow and try it out for yourself, again this is paramount to learning any software application. It’s the simple methodology of watch, learn, try coupled with the visual nature of these Acrobat tutorials that makes them the fastest way to master this application.
