It's fascinating how diverse these tutorials are, especially that they serve a similar purpose, thank you very much for sharing!
At Wikimedia Israel we have been developing an instructional website in Arabic called Wiki Warsha ويكي ورشة ("wiki workshop"). The tutorials consist of multimedia elements (video, text, images), and are divided into 13 chapters taking into account the particularities of Arabic Wikipedia. The tutorials provide self-learners and new comers with basic information on the following: Wikipedia homepage structure, About Wikipedia articles, Creating an account, Signing with a registered account, Creating a userpage, Writing a new article, Editing an article, Formatting the article, Adding image, Adding internal and external links, Adding references, Adding categories, Request edits approval on Arabic Wikipedia. The choice to make video, text and image tutorials in a website format was made in order ensure access on different devices including smartphones and tablets, and to make the web content accessible to people with disabilities too.
Attaching in the link a sample draft of one of the videos we are working on, Adding images:

In the past, the chapter has developed an interactive courseware in Hebrew which has proved to be successful. The courseware is divided into four chapters: 1) The interface 2) Editing article and userpage 3) Talk and community 4) Adding images. For example, Link: Editing interface https://wikimedia.org.il/wp-content/plugins/sgc-wikimedia-elearning//Standing/Wikimedia_UNIT2_ver5/index.html (Hebrew)

Thanks very much for the information regarding these videos in Swedish, Basque, and Spanish. I'm impressed by the quality of the recent videos in Basque and Spanish that I watched, to the extent that I understand them. In the past two to three years have I also learned about recently produced instructional videos through publications such as affiliates' reports and *This Month in Education* https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News.
To the extent that I understand the video in Spanish that Dennis linked < https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tutoriales_WMCL_-_Agregar_referenc...
,
I think that it is very good, so I'm now thinking that I will suggest to WMF that I not create a Spanish version of the video that I am producing, but in the future if there is interest in having instructional videos in Spanish regarding different subjects that are not already covered by existing videos then I may propose creating Spanish versions of videos that I plan for English Wikipedia, Commons, or other projects.
As far as I know, there is no easily accessible catalog of what Wikimedia instructional videos exist. Finding some instructional videos is possible using the Commons category tree and by searching for file names on Commons, but not all videos are easy to find using those methods, and several instructional videos that I found on Commons are outdated. I boldly created a page here < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Pine/Continuation_of_ed...
for cataloging Wikimedia instructional videos, and I would like to invite people to expand that list, especially for videos which contain current information and have good production quality. Hopefully having a common catalog will help those of us who produce videos to get ideas from watching others' videos, and to consider whether to translate or reuse portions of existing videos. If someone thinks that they have a better idea for cataloging existing Wikimedia instructional videos, or if there is a catalog that already exists, please reply to this thread or contact me off list.
Regarding documenting my process, I am placing notes < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Pine/Continuation_of_ed...
on Meta that are in addition to the grant proposal, the talk page for the grant proposal, and the scripts.
Thanks again for sharing information.
