Tele Tutoring
TELE TUTORING
INTRODUCTION The important technologies in education that have combined to make the communication revolution and information age a challenging era for educators: Tele conferencing, Tele lecture, Tele tutorial, Tele seminar, etc.
TELE TUTORING Tele tutoring is a focussed instructional session involving demonstration and explanation by a tutor, practice by the participants and evaluation and corrective feedback by the teacher. A teletutorial may be initiated by an individual student or a small group, experiencing a particular learning difficulty by contacting the tutor at a distance with a request for help.
Tele-Tutoring Will Allow UVa. Teachers & Students to Keep in Touch -- Virtually

Many students won't have to leave home to meet with instructors, tutors or discussion groups when Computer Science Professor Jorg Liebeherr's Grounds-wide Tele-Tutoring System (gwTTS) goes on line late this year Electronic Office Hours, the real-time tutoring sessions over an electronic network, is one of four programs Mr. Liebeherr will develop in the pilot phase of gwTTS , thanks to a teaching and technology fellowship.
For faculty and teaching assistants, what Mr. Liebeherr called "the notion of tele-presence" will mean more efficient use of instructional time and the ability to wield an array of educational tools including video tapes at a computer workstation to reach students throughout the area. It'll take just a phone call to link gwTTS to participants' desktop computers, which will then display live images of tutor and student plus a whiteboard that shows notations as they're made by either person. Except for the small-screen focus, it will be as if the discussion is face-to-face rather than by an electronic link between offices, homes and dormitories.
