Abstract
User guides to support distance learning were created for the most widely used online learning materials in the framework of the master's thesis. The juhendikogu.weebly.com website was designed to ensure the integrity and accessibility of the guides. The website contains three online learning materials guides. They are divided into most common problems chapters, according to the I ja II school level teachers opinion. Each chapter is broken down into smaller sections that contain short text and graphics as illustrative material. If necessary, the steps of the activities are numbered to make them more clear.
The principles of the ADDIE model and the principles of a high-quality learning material were used as the basis for compiling the guides. Experts were involved in the evaluation phase of the guidelines. The experts were primary, lower and upper secondary school students, teachers and parents. The feedback survey was based on the LORI quality assessment model. Expert assessment and feedback show that the instructions are simple, logical and easy to understand. The comments highlighted the need for guidance and the desire to continue using it. Further developments are the addition of new guidelines and the sharing of authorship with active teachers.
