Section 1, Introduction to the forum

Searching This activity invites you to post about what you would like to get out of studying the course and share any questions you might have about the journey ahead.

These are examples of the type of posts we might expect to see:

"I have seen adverts for the OU and tutoring vacancies and I want to know how to become a tutor."

"Colleagues have told me that the OU is looking for tutors and that this course will help me get a job as a tutor."

"Will the course limit me to applying for tutor jobs only in the school of computing and communications? What about other subject areas? Does the OU need tutors in other subjects? Will the course count for anything if I apply to be a tutor in a different school? "
