Some questions for participants to think about and discuss are:
- Are you involved in creating online tutorials/learning Objects?
- What standards, (IL of pedagogies), if any, do you use while planning online
tutorials or learning objects 
- Do you find it difficult to apply standards while creating very short
tutorials?
- Which is your favoutite software/platform?
- Are there any Information Literacy barries?
- Do online tutorials replace face-to-face Information Literacy sessions?
- What strengths or weaknesses do you see in this paper?
