To successfully help your loved one, you might consider doing the following steps to help them get the maximum out of this course.
None of this is required as I'll explain everything in the course. Still, if you help them with these things, it would significantly improve their learning experience.
Complete the "Setup Wizard" on their phone
If a phone is brand new or factory reset, then after the first time you turn it on, it will ask a few questions (EULA, WiFi password, Google login, etc. **).
Watch the "The setup wizard" Lecture* in the second section if you need help with that.
This course teaches them how to do it, but this would help them a lot. (**: Because these are concepts they'll learn at the end of this course, but this happens at the very beginning.)
Install the "Android From Zero" companion application on their phone from the Google Play Store
This app contains hands-on exercises covered in the course. (E.g., touch, scroll, keyboard, share, etc. exercises)
Watch the "Installing the companion app" lecture* in the fourth section if you need help with this.
This course teaches them how to do it, but installing an app is a concept they'll learn later in the course. However, this app would be helpful for them before that.
