Iorad is a tutorial builder, but it’s quite a bit different--and way better--than giving students a step-by-step handout. Let’s take a look how!
What Does Iorad Do?
Iorad creates interactive, online-based tutorials. It’s so much more than a GIF or numbered points; it’s a step-by-step, clickable tutorial that feels just like the real website, document, or other digital doodad you’d share with your students.
Try out this sample iorad I created for my Dual Credit U.S. History Class:
(I recommend that you view it in full screen by clicking the box-like button in the upper-right).

You can make the tutorials even more interactive than even mine-- there’s options to create custom pathing, include hyperlinks, embed tutorials, record audio, or utilize text-to-speech reading.
How You Could Use Iorad:
- Help your students work through or practice a difficult process they might have do again in the future.
- Create one for a day you need to take off -- it’s the perfect complement to your sub plans, as long as students have access to any mobile device and you plan on having them do work online.
- “Flip” your classroom, even partially at first. If you’d like to read more about my experience doing this (with the help of iorad), click here.
Before I Go, I Should Mention the Limitations of the Free Version:
- You can only make two tutorials with pro features, and all but two of your tutorials have to be public.
- You can find out more about iorad’s free versus paid account features here: https://www.iorad.com/pricing
Until next time, check out iorad for yourself and give it a try!
