What do students need? An open mind and a desire to learn. Good work ethic Basic time management skills. Standard computer skills. Encouragement & peer tutoring The greatest asset is a positive attitude and a willingness to work independently.

Keys to Success Successful students are those who: Use asynchronous time effectively. Use the course tools like the homepage or the calendar to monitor due dates and manage their time. Do assigned work as soon as it is assigned and in small “chunks”. Use tools like to write clear and specific requests for assistance, clarification, or explanation from the e-teacher. Participate in vClass by asking questions about what’s been encountered in the web-based content. Strive for understanding instead of scrambling to “jump through the hoops”.

Tutoring Tips Learn to look at each student individually, and value the student for what he/she is. Your first aim is to help the person see himself/herself as someone who CAN learn and Wants to learn. When you talk, talk naturally. Think of working With the students rather than talking at the student.
