Today, qualified online tutors can also be available to students 24/7 for students who need on-demand homework help, have trouble with a particular concept, or need that extra boost to successfully pass an AP course. Join NACOL’s next Webinar on the topic of online tutoring to learn how your online learning program can extend the learning day and provide qualified online tutors for each learner, promoting the academic success of online instructional programs.

Motivation and communication are driving forces in the success of online learners. Now we can take communication to a new level in the online environment. We will discuss how to connect with students and gain rapport as soon as possible with a few simple questions and responses. These methods have been used successfully in the high school and middle school environment and as we studied the needs of the online learner (especially middle school) we have found that communication and connection with the students are imperative.
