A viewlet to show faculty on how to use the library e-Reserves through IVLE.

Viewlets are small animated programs that run within a web browser that can be used to demonstrate computer software and show screen simulations. Through viewlets, you can demonstrate in a step-by-step approach with mouse and cursor movements, cut-outs and dialog bubbles to show exactly what a user has to do to apply or navigate your website. It is like running a video to show you how things work.

No special software or plug-in is necessary to watch viewlets from a browser as it is Flash-based. The software is easy to use and comes with a wizard to help in the creation and anybody can build compelling content in a viewlet format.

The Office of Human Resources used viewlets to show NUS staff how to apply and use the new online leave applications. IVLE will also be using viewlets to demonstrate to faculty and students how to use the various resources and tools on IVLE. One such viewlet was created to show faculty how to use the library e-Reserves through IVLE.

For faculty who would like to use viewlets to create online simulation tutorials for their students, please contact Ms .
