The hybrid tutoring experience: the path to better writers
Abstract
Presentation Abstract: This presentation is intended for instructors of any discipline who plan to assign writing in a course. Many colleges have a writing center where students can receive tutoring on writing assignments, and some colleges offer writing tutoring online. Too often, colleges view online and face-to-face tutoring as completely separate and even in opposition to each other. This presentation discusses using online tutoring in conjunction with face-to-face tutoring as two halves of a complete tutoring experience. PCCC uses eTutoring.org to provide online writing (and other) tutoring to its students. Benefits of eTutoring are discussed (including 24/7 access, fast turnaround). The PCCC Writing Center is distinct in that it combines the use of eTutoring with face-to-face tutoring to help students improve not only individual papers, but also their writing in general. The intention is that students will improve their writing faster and more dramatically using the hybrid system. The project has in fact rapidly spread beyond the pilot group and been embraced by various faculty, staff and students. One of the unintended benefits of this project is that it has informed and improved training of on-the-ground tutors, so that their feedback is more meaningful for students. This hybrid tutoring experience will help both students and tutors continue to diversify their learning experiences. ... Technology: Access Database, online scheduling interface, online tutoring program ... Delivery Method: Asynchronous online, Synchronous face-to-face, hybrid
