In which images are displayed in sequence (a la slideshow). This "Simple" model is a simplified version of the iDP Tutor (used in SL) and has been tested in the ReactionGrid OpenSim.
Instructional content is presented as a series of images, with text captions providing instruction to accompany each image.
Images are displayed in sequence, their progress advanced or reversed by touching at the lower corners of the object. The panel can be deleted by touching the upper right corner.
The script uses one of a new set of functions that detects the precise location on the surface that has been touched. On touch, the script evaluates the touch-location and compares it to various sets of x/y values. If the touch was within a hot-spot, the particular function assigned to that spot is executed.
The object is easily loaded with images; then, the new images become part of the slideshow by resetting the script [Right-click the panel and select "Edit..."; then select Menu > Tools > "Reset* all scripts in selection"].

Click on this link, iDP_Simple.html and Copy/Paste the script into a new script in OpenSim. Then, assemble the panel as described below.
(Side 1 faces South in a non-rotated box prim, and has the tail-end of the green arrow sticking out)
Here is an image template (.jpg file) that could be imported into a graphics application to assist in making instructional images; using this template is not necessary, it simply ensures your arrows and delete button are in precise locations. (Click to open full-sized image.)
These three .jpg files could be used to test your panel.
