Subject: On-Line Math Center

Portland Community College has been pilot testing an on-line tutoring site
for math students. The site, on WebCT, belongs to an instructor and tutor
for the Math Center. For one hour each evening, this tutor is available to
answer questions via bulletin board and e-mail message at this site. So
far, the number of students accessing the site has been minimal. Our next
step will probably be to poll students about usage of the site so that we
can make it more appealing especially for our distance learning students.
Eventually, we would like to have an on-line tutoring center, complete with
links to materials and other sites as well as access to some of the new
computer technology that combines audio and visual in real time.
We're just beginning. If you know of any on-line tutoring sites that are
especially good, please forward.
Thank you,
Deanna Murphy
