We saw that a lesson on Excel offers greater complexity than one on
text editing. In a procedural lesson you can let an animated sequence play
continuously, demonstrating how to complete a task such as construct
or enter a formula. Alternatively, you can divide the procedure into two or
three segments, presenting each one independently with a continue button.
In the segmented version, the learner receives only a small amount of content
and then clicks on the lower right hand “Continue” button when he or she
is ready to move to the next small bite. For someone new to Excel, the segmented
version will impose less mental load.
