Online Tutorials
Introduction: žOnline tutoring is the process of tutoring in
an online, virtual environment or networked environment in which teachers and
learners are separated by time and space. Online tutoring, as a reflection of
the diversity of the wider Internet, is practiced using many different
approaches and is addressed to distinct sets of users. The distinctions are in
online content and interface, as well as in tutoring and tutor-training
methodologies.
Description: Online tutoring may be offered either directly
through the virtual learning environment of a tutoring service or via a link in
a learning management system. The tutoring may take the form of a group of
learners simultaneously logged in and receiving instruction from a single
tutor, also known as many-to-one tutoring.
