147.Production of digital resources for online tutoring

 

While developing  materials  teachers should  ensure that   the technology  they  intend to use   for  learning   should  meet the  needs  of  learners.

 

The following  aspects may be looked into:

 

1. Production of an introductory video to inspire and emphasize the seriousness of the topic.

2. A closing video  which sums up and clarifies the topic

3. Multiple choice questions to test the  content  taught

4. Reference list to articles, literature, and other relevant learning resources

 

Characteristics of   good  online tutoring materials include

*Free from legal restrictions.

*Presentable in a context that is meaningful for the practitioner.

*Ones  that  are  easily sourced  and  accessible.

*Media format that  can be  presented in  intelligible representations in terms of language etc

*Must be available  in  widely used electronic formats that are accessible and ubiquitous within that community.

*Capable of engaging   learners, enabling  them to  do something active with them (for example, manipulating images).

*Sufficiently small to be reusable,

 

A note of caution:

Humans interpret audio, images and video differently.   Hence  the   teacher  should  ensure that the   content produced   helps   to visualize, verbalize and analyze competence and tacit knowledge in while teaching.

Expected  competencies of  an online teacher includes:

 

*Communication skills

*Technological competence

*Responsiveness

*Student support
