What is a SharePoint Tutorial

What is a tutorial? And what can you expect using a SharePoint tutorial?

If you use your favorite search engine and search for a definition of tutorial you will find something like this:

  • A tutorial is one of many methods to transfer knowledge. It’s part of learning.
  • It’s more interactive than a book or lecture.
  • It’s more specific than a book or lecture.
  • A tutorial teaches by example.
  • A tutorial helps to complete a task.

A tutorial can contain a set of instructions, a step-by-step guide or a tutorial can be an interactive session... it can be:

  • a book,
  • a video or
  • an application

Independently of the method it helps to complete a task or to solve a problem.

Furthermore it is self-paced meaning that a person can learn at their own speed which is quite useful if the tutorial is in a different language than your native language.

So it helps people with different skill levels.

If we take the things above and try to create a SharePoint tutorial it would look like this:

  • Title
  • Task
  • Content

Well if this isn’t specific with a huge set of instructions on how to complete the given task... well I don’t know.

The good news is that you can download it.
