e-tutor

An e-tutor supports learners in virtual learning environments like WebCT, requiring clear job descriptions and service standards. When hiring, define specific competencies for online instruction, learner support, and platform management alongside expected response times and availability commitments.

I want to employ an e-tutor to support a group of learners undertaking a programme delivered mostly through a VLE known as WebCT. I am wondering how to develop a person spec/job desc as I would like to incorporate service standards etc. for levels of support to e-learners.

  1. e-Tutor Competencies

    I am a firm believer in writing competency based job descriptions. These allow you to be completely specific about the role and standard of associated behaviours required.

    This being the case, I would recommend that you download the Institute of IT Training (IITT) e-Learning Professional Competency Framework in Adobe Acrobat from:

    http://www.trainingfoundation.com/tfimages/ftp/IITT%20e-Learning%20Professional%20Frameworks%202004%20V1.pdf

    This is chunky download (1.88MB) but well worth it.

    The e-Tutor competencies appear on page 8.

    I would also recommend that you review the e-Learners Charter that appears on-line at:

    http://www.iitt.org.uk/public/standards/e-learncharter.asp

    To streamline the process you could always consider specifying your requirement for a candidate with the CeLP Certificate in e-Tutoring Skills.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes
