Tutorial

A tutorial is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of a learning process. More interactive and specific than a book or a lecture, a tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task.

A tutorial can take many forms, ranging from a set of instructions to complete a task to an interactive problem solving session (usually in academia).
