educational guides

Instructional reference materials

Educational guides are materials designed to help people learn a subject or navigate an unfamiliar process.

They range from teacher manuals and study aids to travel guides and how-to pamphlets.

The term emphasizes practical instruction over entertainment: The museum's educational guide explains each exhibit.

A person who leads instructional tours may also be called an educational guide.
