Abstract
From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the followingquote: “Conventional approaches for presenting instruction s in a tutorial to help a user perform a processgenerally involve presenting a static list of instructions for a user to follow. Also, conventional approachesfor generating tutorials involve receiving inputs via a user interface that manu ally define steps in the process.For example, an expert user generates a tutori al using a tutorial generation interface by manually definingsteps in a process . Further, conventional tutorials are unable to dynamically adapt to situations in whichusers have difficulty in following instructions. For example, users may have user-specific difficulties withfollowing instructions and conventional ap proaches are unable to adapt to these user-specific difficulties.”
