Creating a Web-Based Tutorial

摘要

There are two important points to keep in mind when creating a web-based tutorial. First, find out exactly what it is your audience needs to learn and teach them that. Next, keep it simple and basic. When discussing the principles of designing web based instruction the textbook Information Literacy Instruction (2001b, p. 250) refers to this quote by library web designer Mark Stover: "if content is clearly king, then need is surely emperor". (Stover and Zink, 1996) Grassian and Kaplowitz state "simply designed web based materials may take great time and effort to create, yet they can make an enormous difference in insuring that significant learning takes place". (Grassian and Kaplowitz, 2001b, p. 263). The simpler the learning is, the easier it is for the learner to learn. The following describes the author's experience in designing a web-based tutorial, from the early stages of assessment through to the development and posting of the webpage on the internet.
