I am the Tutorial Coordinator at a community college. We have done online tutoring on a very limited basis. We're in the process of expanding our offerings. I would like some input from those of you already involved in this area. How do students gain access to your online tutoring area? Do they have to register and get a specific log in ID or do you use a generic ID? How often is access to this area changed? How do the students access your online tutoring? Is it via your school's web page or is a separate address? We will be using a message board but we'd also like to include a chat option somewhere down the line. The appeal of an online message board is obvious, a student could post a question whenever the question pops up without waiting for the tutor to be available. Within 24 hours an answer would be posted. If your school uses a chat option, how successful has it been? Thanks for your assistance, Ann M. Niggemann, M.B.A. Tutorial Coordinator MCCC 340 DeKalb Pike Blue Bell, PA 19422 215-641-6694
