Aiding and Training Novice Computer Users Online with Executable Documentation
Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1986In this article we describe a concept of “executable documentation” and a computer program implementation of the idea. This concept and program are useful tools in the introduction of new users to computer systems. In addition, the method is cheap and readily extended by expert and novice computer users for codifying the results of their own learning ...

Computing in Civil Engineering (2007), 2007
This paper summarizes an ongoing project regarding the development of SimuSurvey, a computer-based surveyor training tool. Since survey instruments are costly, surveyor trainers (usually college instructors) oftentimes face a challenge in maintaining and providing high-quality instruments for the class. SimuSurvey is a computer-based simulator which is
