Abstract
The purpose of this study was twofold: 1. To
investigate how Computer Manuals are designed. 2. To
prepare an Instructional Package that would be helpful
to teachers in preparing overhead transparencies.
Computer Manual Design was researched to help
determine the components that should be included in the
Instructional Package and to help determine how this
package should be evaluated. The major emphasis was a
review of the literature on computer manuals and how
manual design could be improved.
The Instructional Package produced contains the
Print Shop Users' Club Software, directions on how to
produce transparencies, and specific directions on how
to use the various Print Shop and Print Shop Companion
Menus to print graphics and text for use in the
transparency making process.
The Instructional Package was evaluated by
teachers in the field who used a questionnaire that was
developed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of
the package. The results of the questionnaire were
used to revise the Instructional Package into its final
form. (See Appendix E: the Instructional Package which
accompanies this paper).
