SMARTBytes

LEARNING TIDBITS

We developed the SMARTBytes concept to provide short, focused demos on how to perform tasks in software applications. Since users seem to have little time to devote to training, the goal of SMARTBytes is to provide a quick training nugget that can be viewed in about a minute.*

Although the examples on this CD cover how to perform a variety of tasks in Excel, this concept can be adapted to almost any software application. Some of the Excel topics include:

Creating an Embedded Chart.
Using Corners to Rotate 3D Charts.
Exploding a Chart.
Neat Things You Can Do With Autofill.

This can used standalone, over a network, or as an adjunct to instructor-led training classes.

*A new report by Booz Allen Hamilton highlights the need to "develop and distribute education in 'bite-sized chunks'...[in]...small, self-contained units..."

	Voice overs.
	Demos quickly show the user how to do something.
	User can print procedures and try it.
	Each training "nugget" can be viewed in about one minute.
	Great way to reinforce "how to" procedures covered in training class.
