Purpose of this Knowledge
If you feel that you want to "enhance the effectiveness of the manual," "make it easier to understand," or "emphasize important points" for a manual output by "Teachme AI" Text Pro, you may be able to create a more effective manual by incorporating elements that enhance the manual's effectiveness.
This page introduces techniques to enhance the effectiveness of the output manual.
Key Points to Enhance Manual Effectiveness
Have the Purpose/Overview of the Task Written
Research shows that including not only the task content but also its purpose and overview in the manual can shorten the learning time and reduce errors (Reference: External link to the relevant paper).
When creating a manual with Text Pro, adding instructions in line with this research finding may enhance the manual's effectiveness.
- "Please include an overview or general flow of the task on the manual's cover"
- "For each step's explanation, please include the purpose or aim of the task"
- "If there are any difficult-to-understand points in the task, please include explanations that promote understanding."
Request Appropriate Image Suggestions
Research shows that simply including illustrations in a manual can increase the willingness to read the manual, improve understanding, and even increase post-test scores (Reference: External link to the relevant paper).
To use appropriate images in the manual, you can output image suggestions for insertion into Teachme Biz by giving instructions like the following:
- "Please write examples of images for steps that make them easier to understand, in parentheses"
Furthermore, by adding the following instruction, you can also output suggestions for editing methods:
- "If arrows or highlights in the image would be effective, please also describe how to draw them"
While this method reduces the effort of thinking about images, there is no function to output images, so you need to collect images according to the instructions.
Specify Text Emphasis Points
Emphasizing text can draw readers' attention and speed up understanding.
In particular, applying a color background to text has been reported to make it stand out more than other formats and speed up understanding of content (Reference: External link to the relevant paper).
For example, you can receive suggestions for parts that should be focused on by giving instructions like the following:
- "Please enclose text that could lead to mistakes if overlooked #like this# to indicate bold sections"
Note that while AI will suggest areas for emphasis, users need to actually highlight the text in the manual editing screen.
If the Above Methods Don't Solve the Issue
