Tools and Tactics

The tutorials provided here were prepared by students in a graduate-level Instructional Design and Technology course. Their assignment was to offer an explanation of how to use a specific multimedia authoring tool or service and to offer some suggestions for how the tool might be used in a classroom setting. The grade-level or whether the tool would be used by the instructor or by students was not specified. The tutorials should provide sufficient information to get you started with the tool although you should not expect that every possible capability to be explained. These tutorials will not be maintained once posted so keep this in mind when reviewing content appearing here. This content was prepared in the Fall of 2021.

IDT 510 students. You can explore Sites before you begin putting together your tutorial. First generate a page and then create a link to your practice page here (see below). I will delete this section when it is time for you to begin working on your assignment.
