Introduction; thanks for wanting to help us create a tutorial, why its useful, some statistics about website use, etc. Thank and help motivate contributors to continue to contribute. 

First, a quick introduction and tips for navigating through the Confluence editor

• Tips for editing in confluence

  • Instructions for working with text, images, attachments and links are available here.

  • A Latex Tutorial can help with tables, equations, and styling

• Note that they will need permission to edit these pages, and to email Dr. Bhaskaran with interest in helping contribute. 

• Add a "important places/buttons" tutorial to show all of the things that they might have to navigate to in order to create/edit tutorials. This page will be built as I go along 
• tutorial of how to edit the SimCafe Confluence Website

Creating the template. Here's the template for creating new tutorials. This template ensures that tutorials have a common structure informed by sound pedagogical practices even though developed by different authors.

• Create a step by step process to copy each page of the tutorial, so that people don't edit the template instead. Show how to create and link all of the pages to create the backbone for the tutorial, tell them to save the link somewhere so that they can get back to it (it won't be up on the SimCafe main page until it is complete) and then they are ready to start adding content
• Make sure all url's are renamed to something meaningful (the title of the page, and not pageID=3838282783, etc)

Start adding the content

• Guidelines for creating video snippets using Camtasia

• It is helpful to have a summary of all of your data separated into an outline of the tutorial. For example, refer to Dr. Bhaskaran's outline for the ansys problem

• After videos are created, make sure to add a text summary of the video. Create a template of text summaries for users to follow? 

Show them how to add the completed tutorial to the front page of the Ansys/Fluent pages, and how to create a discussion on Piazza for the students

Maybe I can turn the whole Contributor Resources page into a module itself? Just rename the steps; i.e. no Mesh or Physics, but Creating Template and Adding content. Example below;
