TR’s New Help Site

by Ron on January 19th, 2009

There are now almost 100 different text and video tutorial files on TR’s new Help site, as well as links to useful TR blog posts.The materials are organized into the following five main groups.

Creating Screens & Projects
Uploading & Organizing Resources
Working with Groups
Using the Calendar
Better Design

An important new addition is the search box. Type in any topic for which you have a question, and a selection of appropriate materials appears to offer you answers.

Under the “Creating Screens & Projects” section, dig into “Get a Good Start.” It contains most of the current videos, but its title may be a bit deceptive. It offers more than just a good start and will introduce you to valuable design strategies, shortcuts, and techniques.

We wanted the layout of the site to have a Google-like simplicity:

Help Screen

You can access the Help site in four ways:

1) Go to www.trintuition.com/help

2) Click on the button in the top left corner of your workBench screen that says “Help Building Projects”

3) Double-click on the “Quick Start Menu” in your Resource list

4) Click on the “Support” button on the TR website.

It would be very helpful to us if you would give us your impressions of using the new site and its materials, so that we can evolve and continue to improve it.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone… I am sure everyone else is recovering from the holidays. I look forward to getting back to work on my many projects. I clicked around earlier and found some new stuff…and i discovered Wordle which is “way too kewl!!!” as my students would say!

Happy 2009 to all
