Example of Planning Your Tutorial

Outline the Steps: 

• Create clear, concise steps involved in completing the task or learning the skill
  • Use bullet points or a numbered list to list the steps
  • Add your steps in sequential order
  • Be sure steps are broken down into small, manageable, easy-to-follow directions
• Keep your instructions short and clear
• Use Clear, Concise Language
