Research on Tutorials

Friehs and Craig (2008 & 2009) Do students really learn from online

tutorials? What kinds of tutorials are the most

effective?

Surveyed 140 finance students after watching Value Line Online tutorial.

Conclusions:- Students found tutorial helpful. - Online tutorials can supplement

(but not completely replace) live library instruction.

Research: Part 2

HTML Tutorial

Video Tutorial

Research: Part 2

Students learn more from video tutorials than from HTML tutorials.

Interactivity is not necessary for learning (and may hinder it).
