Observations
-
Opening a large folder of training materials for the first time
is somewhat akin to your first visit to NYC -- it's intimidating.
In both cases, it's easy to get lost unless you have a teacher,
friend or map to guide you around.
-
Traditional media use the "table of contents" and "subject and author index" as guides.
-
If you don't have a friend to show you around NYC,
it's a good idea to take a guided tour.
-
So why not create a similar mechanism for web-based training material?

Features of a Good Guided Tour
-
The tour visits the most important parts of the city, and doesn't take too long.
-
Along the way, the tour guide brings "points of interest" to your attention.
