The role of the tutor
These materials have been designed to
be used as part of an interactive online learning process. You
will share your experiences with fellow teachers and receive
ongoing support and feedback from a tutor.
The role of the tutor is to:
- Provide encouragement, constructive feedback
and support to you as you work through the modules;
- Facilitate the group e-mail discussions
between the educators on the module;
- Give you an indication of the pace at
which you should be working;
- Support you in your learning by commenting,
encouraging and giving you advice by e-mail;
- Answer your email queries;
- Informally assess your draft assignments
and provide you with feedback. Note that your tutor will
not finally assess your assignments. This is done by other
assessors.
The tutor is a supportive facilitator
of the learning process. You should see the tutor as someone
who can help you to succeed, not as someone who intends to
'check on' or monitor your progress. As an adult student you are expected to take responsibility to manage your progress yourself.
