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 I
formation 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.
