Making Library Online Tutorials Rock by Office Sway

From screen captivate software to digital storytelling application, librarians are always looking for the best way to make interactive online tutorials in order to help students master the information literacy skills. We focused on Office Sway because it perfectly meets our expectation and budget. Sway is an easy-to-use app from Microsoft Office that's free to use for anyone with a Microsoft Account. We use Sway to create tutorials including “How to navigate databases,” “How to locate journals by title,” and more. Since learners can control the pace of learning, better learning outcomes are expected.
