Creating Online Tutorials

A Practical Guide for Librarians

About this book

Today's students rely heavily on electronic resources; they expect to be able to access library resources from any location and at any time of the day. Online education is ubiquitous from K-12 through graduate level coursework and is increasingly used in on-the-job training. Libraries must be prepared to guide learners to use library resources when and where they are needed. Thoughtfully designed online tutorials can be the library's answer to providing this point-of-need instruction that learners have come to expect.

When librarians don't have the technical expertise needed to create online tutorials, Creating Online Tutorials: A Practical Guide for Librarians, Second Edition will help guide them through the basics of designing and producing an online tutorial. Using practical examples, the book leads librarians through the process of creating an online tutorial from start to finish and provides tips and strategies that will be useful to librarians with more experience in designing online tutorials.

This detailed roadmap for designing and producing online tutorials covers:

Is a tutorial the right solution?Assessing diverse user needsChoosing the right technologySelecting and organizing instructional contentPlanning tutorial design elementsIntegrating assessment into tutorial designMaintaining and updating tutorialsFinding online tutorial resources
After reading this book, new tutorial developers will have a practical, adaptable blueprint that enables them to confidently address the creation of their first online tutorials, and experienced developers will learn efficient techniques to create and enhance future tutorials that are attractive, effective teaching tools.
