WWCS is announcing the first of Sun's planned series of SunTutor courses. What is "SunTutor"? It describes the set of Sun multimedia training products built with advanced multimedia development tools to utilize the full capability of the Sun workstation. The planned series of SunTutor products will share the following features: * Multimedia (including audio, graphics, interactive simulation, text, animation, motion screen captures) * Online access (targeted to End-User and networked-user audiences) * Performance-Support-Systems (PSS) instructional design methods * Application-Integrated design * CD-ROM media with server-client networked access * Target systems: SPARC systems with audio OW-107: PREMIER SUNTUTOR PRODUCT --------------------------------- WWCS Technical Education Services introduces its initial training product, targeted for a high-penetration, broad-exposure audience: OW-107 SunTutor: OpenWindows Environment for Users The OW-107 "OpenWindows" product is designed as an online tutorial to instruct end-users on the use of OpenWindows and DeskSet tools for OWV3 (Solaris 1.0 and 2.0). The OW-107 "SunTutor" course is unique in four aspects: 1) It is designed as self-paced training for new Sun Users, new OpenWindows users and commercial users migrating from other operating systems to Sun (eg. DOS to OpenWindows) 2) As an on-line product, it is also a valuable reference tool for ongoing user support 3) It does not require special hardware or software to operate on SPARC workstations with audio 4) Its design is integrated to simulate the user environment using non-invasive methods (no interaction with the host environment) SunTutor products are positioned to complement existing training courses. The "OpenWindows Environment for Users" course is particularly valuable for commercial audiences and students who might not otherwise travel for Sun training, while video/workbook and lecture/lab courses target other students (engineers, system administrators, etc.).
