A tutorial, in education, is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of a learning process. More interactive and specific than a book or a lecture, a tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task.

Tutorials are often not optional because they give you an opportunity to delve deeper into concepts, and attendance may contribute to your participation mark

 The tutorial system is a method of university education where the main teaching method is regular, very small group sessions. These are the core teaching sessions of a degree, and are supplemented by lectures, practical and larger group classes.

 A tutorial can be taken in many forms, ranging from a set of instructions to complete a task to an interactive problem solving session (usually in academia).

 In documentation and instructional design, tutorials are teaching-level documents that help the learner progress in skill and confidence. Tutorials can take the form of a screen recording (screencast), a written document (either online or downloadable), interactive tutorial, or an audio file, where a person will give step by step instructions on how to do something.

Advantages, Disadvantages and Considerations:

Advantages:

• Enables users to learn on demand and when they are motivated
• Tutorial can be done independent of time and geography
• User is able to stop for breaks and to repeat sections as needed
• Easier to briefly review or skip sessions if not a beginner
• Learning through written communication may be easier than learning through oral communication (e.g. English as a second language users)
• Less ongoing staff time is needed for instruction
• Experts can devise tutorial, even though they are located at a different institutions

Disadvantages:

• Not possible to ask questions of instructor or to learn from questions asked by others learning the same topic
• Density of presentation may be high because content must be self-contained
• Individuals must be motivated enough to complete tutorial
• Frequently takes novices longer to learn via tutorial than via classroom setting

Considerations:

• Tutorials are very labor-intensive to devise
• Hard to maintain especially if content in tutorial is changing rapidly
• Should tutorial include practice problems or a quiz?
• Using interactivity and examples to make tutorial more effective
• Choosing the right media: audio, video, web, email, combinations?
• Length of sessions—list total time needed, provide clear outline, and divide topics into modules
• What equipment and other types of infrastructure is needed to deliver tutorial?
• What level of user should you aim at?
• Lobby producers to create tutorials
• Use team to create tutorial
