Computer-mediated learning systems: a new perspective

Software applications continue to increase in both power-and complexity, This trend shows no signs of abating-in fact, it appears to be accelerating. As users struggle to stay oil top of higher levels of sophistication and try to gain the knowledge and skills needed to use these applications effectively, the Pole of help systems, software guides and tutorials (or, collectively; computer-mediated learning) becomes ever more important in overcoming the complexity barriers, Unfortunately, the majority of existing guidance systems are wholly inadequate, Most are cumbersome to use and rarely provide She answers the user is looking for, This article presents the findings of a project that set out to redefine the current state of CML. The project was named Aptus.
