A tutorial is one method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of learning. 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.

Depending on the context a tutorial can take one of many forms, ranging from a set of instructions to complete a task to an interactive problem solving session. This section is dedicated to tutorials or videos that explain relevant topics.

How to use Google Docs

Google Docs is a very versatile online tool which is similar to Microsoft Office, but different in that it is completely free and you are able to open it using just a web browser. You can then edit your documents, be it text, spreadsheets, power point presentations or forms, and someone else can edit at the same time while being logged in from another computer, thus allowing true collaboration. This tool has been invaluable to me when I work and study.
