Tutorials are learning-oriented and practical, helping the reader understand a concept or acquire a skill.

How-to guides are goal-oriented, directing the reader’s action towards a specific objective.

Information and resources with a clear application, well organised and described precisely.

Explanations deepen a reader’s understanding of a subject or an area of knowledge. They’re reflective rather than active.
