A computer tutorial is an interactive learning tool, like a program or website, that teaches a user a skill or how to use a specific software through step-by-step instructions. It is a practical guide with clear stages to help the user follow along and understand the material.

Key characteristics of a tutorial

Interactive learning: Tutorials are often interactive, allowing users to learn by doing rather than just reading or watching.

Step-by-step instructions: They break down complex tasks into a series of easy-to-follow stages.

Goal-oriented: Tutorials are designed to teach a specific skill or how to use a particular application, operating system, or programming tool.

Practical and hands-on: They often include practical examples, code snippets, and opportunities to test what is being learned.

Self-contained: Tutorials are self-contained and provide all the necessary information to complete a task, unlike a guide which might assume some prior knowledge.
