What would you say?

2. Now look at suggestions for the actions to be taken by the e-tutor. Can you think of appropriate actions for the squirrel, the stag, and the magpie?


The squirrel: the e-tutor must encorage the squirrel to visit ans respond, also to make concious of the consequenses of not working or doing the works on time (lack of understanfing) and how it would affect their performance in the course


the Stag: the e-tutor must congrulate for their continous participation and explain that the forum are for everyone to express their opinions -respectfuly-, if attitude continues the stag must receive some sort of sanction (only if they are agresive)


The Magpie:the e-tutor must infor the magpie what are the consecuences of plagiarism (be it unconciounsly or conciunsly) and what are the sanctions for that, also to encourage the magpie to recognice the source and not to worry if feels thier answer are not as creative as everyone elses, with practice they will be.



3. Look at this example of a response to a conference by an e-learner. How would you respond to him as an e-Tutor?



From: Raul B.

Subject: Learner types

I think each person has his own learning style. I read about multiple

intelligences in my COTE course. Everytime I sit down at the computer I get a headache: so much to read, so many ideas on different topics shooting in

from everyone! In my COTE course I had to write long essays. That was

difficult too. Has anyone read the book by Rebecca Oxford? It tells about

learning strategies.

Response:

as an e-tutor i could give some advises to the learner like:

1. you can print the long readings if you feel a headache or it's uncortable for you to read on the computer.
2. you can write the abstracts of your esay on a piece of paper, and when you feel you have work on it enough you can transcirbe it to the computer.
3. if you feel overwhelmened work a little everyday, don't force yourself to do everything on a oneshot.
4. don't worry so much about your learning style, this is something you would learn tomanage little by little.
5. don't hesitate to aks for help to your e-tutor, e-classmates, or someone who had taken an online course before
