"ConceptTutors are "just-in-time" windows that open from existing webpages to teach concepts. We like to think of ConceptTutors as glossaries on steroids. They support various media types (images, audio, and animations), and their design is based on best practices for learning concepts. Effective concept learning is accomplished by including the concept definition, examples and non-examples, contextual information, and quizzing.
ConceptTutors include the four elements above in an interactive tab format.
The ConceptTutor authoring tool is very easy to use. Its intuitive design is delivered in a Macromedia Flash environment that leads authors through a very simple ConceptTutor creation process. The ConceptTutor author behaves and includes elements common to most authoring environments, including functions like Save, Preview, Publish, and Edit."
