Inquiry and Guided Practice strategies

Develop a systematic lesson that teaches one or more concepts, principles, or skills, or a complete procedure. A tutorial will contain practice exercises along with information, examples, and demonstrations that prepare learners for the practice. A tutorial may be developed to:

• help learners develop a deep understanding of concepts or principles through practice with increasingly complex examples

• guide a learner through the steps necessary to complete a task
  

• demonstrate how to perform a task under increasingly complex conditions. For example, learners might be asked to analyze several obvious products, followed by more ambiguous radar or satellite products. They might be asked to practice communication skills in increasingly difficult situations, to learn how topography impacts NWP forecasts in increasingly subtle ways, etc.

The Moodle Lesson activity is designed specifically for tutorial instruction, allowing you to alternate information with exercises. External tools can do the same with enhanced features, such as Adobe Storyline, which can be linked from within Moodle.
