.Tut files, tutorial files guided with cords
Simple suggestion: .tut files that blender teachers could create to indicate where to find every functions we need to follow the tuts.
A glossary of existing functions with labels to every existing functions that we can click and which draws a string to the menu items we’re looking for, attaching to every subsections too, menus, submenus, and items, and so on.
So… Say I’m a noob, which I am, and I search for a simple function that I can’t find but I know it could be somewhere… I open the tutorial glossary, which could include extra tutorials downloaded from blender teachers’s sources.
It could include pictures, videos accompanied in tut subfolders, delivered by the blender teachers.
It could be loaded on the fly onto your personal projects each time you forget where a function is.
It could even include a synonym AI that could help you find the things you can’t properly name for a lack of insider knowledge.
Imagine you’re looking for backface culling, for example, you’d type it in the glossary, and it would draw a string from the entry named “material backface culling” in the tut, would draw a string to the properties panel, to material properties, then a string extension to every sublevels until it reaches the wanted item. Or viewport backface culling would draw the string to the top right corner menus of the viewport instead. It’s very possible because everything in Blender is identified properly, and you can already find the stuff you need with the search bars, but this here is a whole new level of teaching, unleashed.
Also, the tuts could include in themselves copy instances of the entries you’re looking for so you can use them right in the tut bar for quick access.

Who would make the content?
I am having a hard time visualizing this, is it something like Unreal learning mode? Maybe you can add a mockup.
