Cases on Online Tutoring, Mentoring, and Educational Services: Practices and Applications

Аннотация

This timely book makes the case that significant shifts are taking place in the many ways teaching and learning are carried out. It argues that there is a growing need for formal instruction and education for tutors and for mentors so that they have a repertoire of new skills, including information, visual, technological and learning literacy. Tutors are professionals and professional development is being recognized as important. I believe that graduate education programs concentrating on these fields as specialties will emerge.
