The document discusses selecting appropriate technology for training users how to navigate between terminal servers. It considers various instructional strategies and technologies, including screen capture software, interactive whiteboards, and thin clients. An effective strategy is selected based on research into user needs, technology capabilities, costs, and how well each option integrates the instructional objective. The thin client is identified as an experiential, kinesthetic approach that allows users to engage in the actual navigation process.
