The Internet and Me –  “Social Networking and Tutoring Online”

Mieke Haveman – Online tutor for OLT

I am a tutor for OLT and have tutored on the diploma in online counselling for a few years now.

I am looking forward to discussing what is the same and what is different when tutoring face to face and tutoring online, facilitating learning online, with no in person contact raises a number of interesting questions:

• Can tutor and student create a strong learning alliance?
• Is it possible to attend to different learning styles?
• How can students access support?
• Are tutorials possible?
• How does a tutor manage boundaries?

I also teach courses on building websites and social networking for OLT and look forward to spending some time discussion how to use social networks ethically. What networks to be using and some top tips for effective social networking.

If you have questions, please do bring them along!
