Tutoring for the 21st Century
In partnership with others, the CRA is developing a new institutional support and development
initiative on the theme of ‘the 21st Century Tutor’ as a substantive activity for 2014-5. This will
focus upon an initial autumn event and allow members to participate in a subsequent change
programme, and will emphasise:
The changing role of the academic in the age of near ubiquitous information.
Redefining role and skill requirements in the context of a highly diverse student body, e.g.
in terms of widening participation and internationalisation.
The potential for technology to draw together, analyse and represent learner information to
support review and planning processes, thereby, personalising staff engagement with
students in a near mass system.
Tutorial support in group settings, thereby, realising the potential of peer/peer learning and
support for review and planning processes.
The future relationship of the skills and capabilities of the 21st century tutor to staff
development and accreditation frameworks.
