Moment of Need Learning (MONL)

How do you get the naive, untrained, beginner to learn programs and guidelines faster and more effectively? The answer is arrange your material to be interactive and adaptive so that it can respond when a user/learner needs the information. This is the most ignored, unused learning paradigm since the concept of pre-creating a curriculum using the concept: 'one size fits all." and experts know best. For a period in the personal computer revolution 1959-2009, computer program usage awakened to the ideal that their training materials and their programs would capture more customers and less churn if they designed their training and Solutions material to be "USER FRIENDLY." A trendy way to make their introductory, intermediate, and help services were interactive with the user: that it gave a definition, showed a diagram, linked to a procedure when the student wanted it in real time and fast time. The art of creating USER FRIENDLY PROGRAM CURRICULUM, developed to an effective teaching art and then has just disappeared. Program introductory and advance training is virtually devoid of need based, instant training. Microsoft manuals used to be covered with blue links. Technical terms linked to examples and definitions in nanoseconds, Feedback questions, with personal choices, peppered their online manuals linking individuals when they wanted and needed a diagram, a video, a paragraph and did NOTHING AT ALL when the reader didn't want it. Today, upon the down load of OUR NEW WONDERFUL MICROSOFT EDGE, OR X, OR X.....THE reader is forced into a slideshow. put into a psudo reward motivation program, and constant intrusions from the dumbest virtual counselors with the most illogical complexities of questions and choices I have seen since the coin operated Fortune Tellers were retired from the 1920-1930's. Videos jump in and slather the entire screen with pre-ordained information, 3-D graphics are being forced fed into this process. WHO THE HELL IS IN CHARGE?
