Creating a digital guidebook
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can collaborate with others to create a digital guidebook.
Key learning points
- A digital guidebook combines text, images and layout to share information clearly.
- Cloud-based tools allow groups to create and edit the guide together.
- Content should be accurate, relevant and suitable for the intended audience.
- Reviewing work and getting feedback helps to improve the final product.
Keywords
Cloud-based - an application, service or document that you access over the internet, rather than one that’s installed locally
Feedback - information from users of a product, to help you improve it
Audience - the people your project is aimed at
Common misconception
The first version of a product is the finished version.
The first version of a product is not usually the finished version; it should be reviewed for accuracy and improved using feedback from others.
Teacher tip
It would be beneficial if pupils could work together on the digital guidebook and review each other's work. However, if this is not possible, learners can reflect on their own work and make improvements.
