In Pictures tutorials began as part of a research study
The goal: to make it easier for people with
learning disabilities to learn computer subjects.
As part of the study, we created simple,
illustration-based tutorials. Everyone who tested them—
not just people with learning disabilities—
said the new tutorials enabled them to learn faster and easier than conventional text-heavy books.
Where's the Snazzy Stuff?
So where are the color screenshots? The cartoon characters? The video animations?
We don't use these things, because our research showed us that:
- The simpler, the better.
Tutorials should be as simple as possible. Multimedia animations may look nifty, but they can be hard to follow. That's why these tutorials use static screenshots. - Black-and-white is better than color.
Color screenshots can create a "kaleidoscope" effect that makes it difficult to focus. Black-and-white doesn't. That's why these tutorials use black-and-white screenshots.
