- a written specific use case showcases multiple things;
  a step-by-step tutorial mostly follow one with a fixed path;
  this enables the audience to do some interleaving as [[id:2667d942-48b6-4d1e-b92b-15c2dab645ed][Switching between different topics makes new perspective]]
- usually because it [[id:3a605fb2-b867-41c2-bcf9-00ef772808e5][Show the result at the front]];
  similar reasons as to why [[id:e158b742-53c7-4442-9af3-489ea8240af9][Examples and stories are more memorable than explanations]]
- examples:
  + devlogs which a lot of the [[roam:Game development]] creates
  + a lot of blog posts that tackles only one specific thing by its author usually to make them remember that thing
  + showcases
- from a content creator perspective, it creates more interesting options (e.g., skits, persona) that are usually unneeded in a tutorial;
  it can take advantage of our tendency to [[id:9a11ef31-b2a7-43a9-a7a9-48f191838c6e][Prefer referencing over remembering]] by being more memorable
- with it, we can [[id:0dbfee88-cdce-48d1-9a10-23fc12d9bcd5][Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal]]
- this is not a false dichotomy, overall;
  a tutorial can make for a interesting piece if it's leaning more on specific use cases
Update writing-related notes The added notes could be used for creating educational materials. It seems to be very specific on how much you could do, though. Meh, I'll think about for another time. 2021-07-31 23:52:17 +00:00			`:PROPERTIES:`
