| Abstract: | In the Fall 2016 semester, Texas Woman’s University Libraries introduced a series of new information literacy tutorials. These tutorials were designed to replace older, outdated tutorials that were being phased-out. This paper describes the process of creating the new tutorials using Adobe Captivate, including the challenges and successes of implementing the program into college classes. There are many programs available for creating video tutorials, but Adobe Captivate was selected because its features work best for the needs of the Texas Woman’s University community. With their potential for active learning, video tutorials can be highly effective teaching tools for information literacy instruction. Instruction librarians specifically, and librarians in general, would do well to include the skill of creating video tutorials in their toolbox to stay relevant in the field. |
