Ways to develop a user guide

I sometimes create a Word document designed to be helpful, then import into Flipping Book Publisher, and include as a link in "Resources" or as a url.

This then in itself almost becomes an interaction for the users.

Hi Christelle! I wanted to welcome you to E-Learning Heroes! I also look forward to hearing about what others do in this instance as well and Bruce has started it off with a great suggestion.

Thanks Bruce

Hey, thanks for your replies.

I never thought of putting the user guide online, thats a great consideration!

Awesome Christelle! Glad you found some assistance here and thanks for the update!

Bruce, I really like Flipping Book Publisher as well. In addition to posting handouts and course information, I use it to display PDF documents to create more elegant self-study guides. I insert them into Storyline as a Web Object to allow for tracking. It as a bit pricey but one of the best flipping books I've found.

Thanks Lu for sharing that idea as well! 

I haven't created a user's guide but that's a good idear for complext e-learning courses. But I have created pdf handouts that have most of the slides and the voice over narration. I include them as an attachment in Articulate Presenter published e-learning courses. The students can print them and use them to take notes duirng the course. I include areas on the pages for the students to take notes. It also gives the student a "take-away" they can refer back to after the course.

Thanks Rebecca - that sounds like a great alternative to a traditional user's guide.
