Instruction
spans a wide variety of information presentations. It extends
beyond the classroom instruction know to most of us and even
plays a role in marketing.
Modern
instruction takes the form of classroom facilitation, assembly
directions, Web site help, software help, online training,
and more. Almost any information presentation software is
used, such as MS Word, MS PowerPoint, RoboHelp,
and Macromedia Flash. Short movies, simulations, illustrations,
and text are also combined into interactive online learning.
Much
work goes into instruction before any development begins.
Both the audience and specific learning needs are first identified.
The analysis and demographics are used to further determine
the appropriate media, language, and information levels.
As
a part of marketing, a short instructional segment
included on a Web site or other media adds an informative
touch to public communications. By demonstrating the talent
used in the production of artistic or other products, their
uniqueness and value are further defined. The audience learns
and the perceived value is better remembered. This makes a
connection with potential customers, and encourages purchases
and return visits while aiming at the visual mind.
