A librarian,
Karli Mair, has generously shared an
online tutorial about APA 7th ed., created for Valencia and Seminole State College. In introducing it, she says "The module was created using backwards design and is centered around common stuck places determined by a 1 credit Information Literacy Course at USC, reference desk questions, and one shot classes. The module uses a mixture of video, interactives, text, and formative assessment with immediate feedback to demonstrate bias-free language, formatting in-text citations, and creating reference list citations. Formatting a Word document is also included but not assessed. It comes in three parts - a Learn It interactive tutorial, a Try It practice quiz, and a Test It final quiz with question bank."
If your institution uses the
Canvas application you can apparently find the module by searching her name
Karli Mair, in the Canvas Commons. This is the link to the
Learn It interactive tutorial if you don't use Canvas

I just looked at a few parts, but, for example, there's a nice video that talks you through an example of citing a webpage.
There is the question bank here:

Mair also gave the objecives and how they align with the ACRL Information Literacy framework:
"
Authority is Constructed and Contextual
- acknowledge they are developing their own authoritative voices in a particular area and recognize the responsibilities this entails, including seeking accuracy and reliability,
- respecting intellectual property, and participating in communities of practice; develop awareness of the importance of assessing content with a skeptical stance and with a self-awareness of their own biases and worldview;
"
Information Has Value
- give credit to the original ideas of others through proper attribution and citation;
"
Research as Inquiry
- follow ethical and legal guidelines in gathering and using information
"
Scholarship as Conversation
- cite the contributing work of others in their own information production;
"
Learning Objectives: By the end of this tutorial you will be able to:
- Identify bias-free language
- Identify the information needed to cite a book, a book chapter, a webpage, and a journal article.
- Format in-text citations
- Create a reference citation for a book, a book chapter, a webpage, and a journal article"
