COACH began as a LISP tutor by Ted Selker . Since then, it has been adapted to the graphical user interface environment as WarpGuides. Many things were tried along the way. Here are some examples:
CoachIPF is a leveled, hypertext help system.
Icon Dressing is a collection of animations that are overlaid on top
of an icon, suggesting an action.
CoachV5 explored several ideas for communication through use of animation.
