Students should be able to get help when using a lesson. This help is of two types: procedural and informational. Procedural help is essential and refers to help in operating the lesson, such as changing pages. This information is usually provided in the directions for the lesson, so a common type of procedural help simply sends the student back to the directions. ... While a lesson should always provide procedural help, provision for informational help depends on the nature and difficulty of the lesson. 1, record 2, English, - procedural%20help
