Effective Practices for Online Tutoring. Position Paper. Adopted Spring 2019
Academic Senate for California Community Colleges
Shifting demographics within the state of California and more specifically within the California Community College System have created a need for equitable processes to promote the success of students. Students who enter community colleges should be afforded the same level of support whether they enter virtually or in-person. The development of the Online Education Initiative has sparked great interest and collaboration within the system to support students' successful completion of courses by using services such as online tutoring. Framing the need to innovate and reimagine the way institutions serve students in a continually adapting and evolving world of technology is equally valuable and important. Colleges must meet the needs of all students who may have barriers to success, such as full workloads along with course commitments and other barriers that impact diverse student populations. This document was created by the Transfer, Articulation, and Student Services Committee (TASSC) of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges and is intended for local academic senates to use as a guide for online tutoring considerations. It may also be used to assist community colleges with the development of effective practices for online tutoring programs. Information provided in this paper may help to develop, enhance, identify, and address areas of both value and concern for online tutoring programs. As such, this paper contains multiple sections that include the following: (1) Accreditation and Online Tutoring; (2) The Value and Benefits of Online Tutoring; (3) Audiences for Online Tutoring; (4) Online Tutoring Skills and Practices; (5) Challenges and Parameters of Services; and (6) Recommendations for Practice.
