Webinar: Creating Learner-Centered Tutorials

Originally presented June 11, 2025

Online tutorials are nearly ubiquitous in the library learning world – but are they effective for learners? How difficult are they to create? In this webinar, Hannah Gascho Rempel and Maribeth Slebodnik introduce the process of creating learner-centered tutorials in order to increase their impact and effectiveness. They share ideas about how to streamline the design process while still producing an effective tutorial. They also emphasize accessibility principles to reach a wider audience and assessment in order to evaluate and reinforce learning.

In this session they:

• Introduce the ADDIE model of instructional design as a guide for focusing on learner needs and planning your tutorial design process.
• Share about the types of information to gather ahead of time to shape your tutorial to match your audience’s needs.
• Illustrate how designing learning objectives can help you focus on choosing and organizing tutorial content in learner-centered ways.
• Show how to find and develop accessible content.
• Discuss best practices for assessing learning and impact of your tutorial.
