Use Of Guidnace And Feedback

Question 1

What are advantages of visual guidance?

Question 2

What are disadvantaged if visual guidance?

Answer 2

• Not effective if the demonstration is poor
• Demonstration loses impact if too complex or static

• No feedback so less effective for the autonomous stage
