Question

I think someone made this suggestion already but let me refresh your mind :D

I think there should be like a tutorial for when new users sign up there would be like a little short video explaining the site etc, but some users dont like to watch long videos so i have doubts on this part.

Or like some sites have like arrows that point to lets say your picture and it would say "Click here to view your profile and settings etc" And would point at the online side and say "These are the helpers that are only atm" And like you can be able to skip the tutorial and just go straight to the site for users that are not patient. And should be that points you you to the Coc and TaC etc.

Tell me what you think :D

Answer 1

@Preetha @paki @karatechopper

Answer 2

Good Idea... agree....

Answer 3

Definitely would help newcomers

Answer 4

Yea because a lot of users ask about how to ask questions etc and this would help them to reduce those questions asked.

Answer 5

This would be really helpful. I seen other sites that do similar methods like Slack and Google Plus.

Answer 6

or even a video series... faq? we have an faq...
how would new users be offered this information? obviously has to be better than our current manual method
and atm there *is* a tutorial help pop up bubbles that do come up for new accounts... idk why some people don't see them?

Answer 7

For real where and like slack has with their tutorials.

Answer 8

? some bot telling your stuff?

Answer 9

A prezi would be great :)
This one with the old design

Answer 10

But some sers wont do that lol they would get lazy but the bubbles would help and arrows.
Speaking for my self i wouldnt really do that

Answer 11

OR something like that ^^^^^

Answer 12

Yea i like that to but we have to minimize it b.c its 7mins long and they wont watch something that long lol

Answer 13

Like if we just give a link and say hey watch this, they wont

If we have the words like slack and fade the background of OS and thats the only thing there that say "Here is the question button" They will be forced to look there and read.

Answer 14

Welll i guess :/

Answer 15

Yea if we dim the background and leave the words then they will be forced to read it.

Answer 16

@perl

Answer 17

jag
agreed :)

Answer 18

and what would be nice is when a user automatically signs up, they receive an automated message that says "Welcome to OpenStudy, please read the Code of Conduct here, and here is a tutorial on how to navigate the site."

Answer 19

Yea that to @TheSmartOne

Answer 20

i agree

Answer 21

That's a great idea (although we already have pop-ups),

Answer 22

However even with the popups available some users are still confused on how to use the site.

Answer 23

There was a tutorial video, but as jagr2713 pointed out it was too long. Yesterday was the first time I saw the video and after 2 minutes I wanted to move on because it was slow.

Answer 24

lol but how slack tutorial is thats how it should be. It highlights it and put everything else dark or shaded. And me to @UsukiDoll

Answer 25

No.

Answer 26

No? Please be more specific

Answer 27

I'm sorry but the code of conduct states that I cannot give direct answers.

Answer 28

Please be more specific.

Answer 29

Please attempt it on your own first.

Answer 30

oK, you said No but didnt really explain why you said no. It was to vague.

Answer 31

he's just joking with you

Answer 32

sometimes i see some jokes as something serous lol but you have to say lol or kml after it or i think its different lol ask my friend @pooja195

Answer 33

Saying "lol" after something thats not funny is annoying and not only that but its disrespectful if you dont know how to joke you shouldnt joke. Simple.

Answer 34

LOL

Answer 35

perfect explanation @pooja195

Answer 36

Why?

People can and should be able to figure out the UI on their own. You don't need to teach people how to use your website. If a website receives too many questions about using it, then perhaps, the website is at fault. Right now, I don't see how OS is hard to use.

Answer 37

Well @ParthKohli then why are their constant question on how to ask a question or how to medal someone etc

Answer 38

Because they aren't as smart as him ;p

Answer 39

lol
