Paper Abstract:
|
There is a general acceptance that the creation of a learning community with a group of students is beneficial for both students and institute. There is, however, less recognition of the importance of developing communities of tutors and in particular tutors who are geographically disparate and lack immediate support from each other or the institution. This paper outlines a project in progress aimed at addressing this issue by seeking to create a dedicated, domain specific online environment for a group of dispersed tutors. |
