2 Helping your students to learn
Your role as a blended learning tutor is to be a facilitator, providing support and encouragement, information and guidance for students. You will be helping your students develop their abilities and gain confidence as learners.
As a blended learning tutor you can help your students to learn in a number of ways. For example:
- engaging in dialogue with each student to ensure she has a clear understanding of the learning outcomes for each Module in the programme
- being clear about what learning outcomes are being assessed in each of your students’ written assignments
- providing feedback on how well the learning outcomes have been achieved, together with manageable advice on how to improve, and how to negotiate the next goal
- requiring that your students submit some form of self-assessment and responding to that self-assessment
- talking to students who do not submit assignments by the deadline and planning with them how they might catch up with work they have missed
- helping students to integrate their blended learning with the skills they are taught in their practical training.
