Summary

CESSDA is working on the EOSC Future project to build the EOSC Cloud. Part of this work are the training sessions focused on potential and existing EOSC service providers, including Research Infrastructures producing usage instructions and tutorials for their end-user communities.

Description

Clear and comprehensive documentation is absolutely essential for a service to be discoverable and successfully used – both by existing and potential new target groups. Service documentation has many components, including promotional materials, descriptions for discovery & catalogues, usage instructions and tutorials, technical specifications and richly commented code.

In this event, we will be diving into the following topics:

● Different types of online tutorials
● Planning and design
● Selecting learning activities including assessment
● Writing style and practical tips for content creation
● Tools for creating online tutorials

By the end of this session you will be able to:
● Understand different types of tutorials in order to make the right choice for your service
● Use structured step-by-step approaches to design your tutorial
● Write clear instructions with engaging content

So bring your own service use case along, and join what we hope will be an interactive and productive session on how to produce effective service usage instructions and tutorials!
