Abstract

Online Tutor Training

Last year, RVCC merged its separate, academic learning labs into one department called the Academic Success Center. All tutoring in Math, English, ESL, and other subjects is now done from one central location. As a result of this merger, the need for effective, consistent, and ongoing tutor training became an issue. As part of an inhouse faculty fellowship, I was given time last fall to develop an online course using WebCT for the purpose of training our tutors. In this presentation, I will take you into the course to observe the different aspects of the course, both general and subject-specific. I will also discuss the results of our spring pilot with 18 of our current tutors.
