Abstract:
Displaying steps of a solution to a problem is provided. A tutorial application determines the solution and generates a card-based UI that presents solution steps on numbered cards sized to accommodate the step. One step is displayed as the focused step at a time. Steps are displayed in a step-by-step or an all-steps mode. In the step-by-step mode, navigation to a next or previous step is enabled via a selection of a next step control and a previous step control, respectively. The next/previous step controls are displayed in static positions, allowing the user to tap through steps by tapping in a single spot. In the all-steps mode, a portion of the next step is visible to indicate that there is another step below the focused step. Scrolling is enabled for allowing the user to navigate to a desired step. A mode selector is provided for enabling switching between viewing modes.
