Tutorials

From https://diataxis.fr/tutorials/:

A tutorial is a practical activity, in which the student learns by doing something meaningful, towards some achievable goal.

A tutorial serves the user’s acquisition of skills and knowledge - their study. Its purpose is not to help the user get something done, but to help them learn.

Tutorials - learning-oriented guides that describe practical steps and are intended to serve our study. A tutorial in other words is a lesson.

It’s important to understand that while a student will learn by doing, what the student does is not necessarily what they learn. Through doing, they will acquire theoretical knowledge (i.e. facts), understanding, familiarity. They will learn how things relate to each other and interact, and how to interact with them. They will learn the names of things, the use of tools, workflows, concepts, commands. And so on.
