The document outlines the steps taken in a project to create online tutorials for students. It involved planning the project, searching for relevant open educational resources, creating initial tutorials that were too long so making them shorter, testing the tutorials with students and obtaining feedback, determining hosting options and exit strategy, promoting the tutorials at a conference, and evaluating and refining the tutorials based on use and student feedback. Engagement from academic staff was limited, making it difficult to gain momentum for the project.
