Tutorial

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The English loan word tutorial [ tuːˈtɔːɹiəl ] ( Latin tueri "protect, preserve, care") is used to describe a written or cinematic instruction manual that explains a topic, a certain process or a function. Tutorials can be found on video platforms in particular on the Internet.

Tutorials, which refer to a program, device or similar, for example, are often created by the manufacturer himself, in other areas also by experienced users and enable newcomers - similar to individual training - to gain experience and get results quickly without a teacher to achieve. Tutorials often relate to a certain area of ​​a broader topic and thus often serve as an introduction to a topic or to explain certain topic sections.
