We have discovered one of the coolest 'teaching tools' on the market. It's called Iorad. It allows us to capture the individual steps to accomplish a particular task, including the mouse clicks and hot-keys used in the process. Iorad offers several options (1) to step through the lesson, asking you for an affirmative response in the form of a mouse click in the appropriate spot; (2) simply to read (listen -- it offers a pretty realistic computer voice) the lesson; and (3) to print out the lesson.Read more information re: Iorad (including how you can create personal tutorials for your staff) at the end of this page.

Iorad offers a very powerful, but free (but very extensive) 'beginners' option. To the extent you want to create a personalized, step-by-step manual for teaching Pathagoras (or anything else) to your staff, you can easily do so. Just sign up for an account. (FWIW, Pathagoras has no business relation with Iorad. We get no referral fees, etc. We just like the product.
