[Taylor, Janice (Tutoring Services)]

Hi Nancy,

We have had eTutoringonline.org I believe since it began.  As with all new things, it can take time to get wind under the sails.  However, I think you will find with strategic marketing and placement it will catch quickly.  It certainly did here and saved us completely that first term of remote operations.

Some ideas to consider:
Visit and/or provide information to all English faculty. Go to department meetings and classes to provide information on the writing lab.  This is typically the most utilized resource of etutoring in that students never have to go anywhere or actually meet with anyone, just upload the assignment and get feedback digitally.

Make sure to put a link in your Canvas shells and if possible create the SSO system to reduce barriers to students accessing the resource.

Provide signage, web presence, and information on the resource to all students.

You can view my web page on eTutoringonline.org here: https://www.clark.edu/campus-life/student-support/tutoring/etutoring.php

We also have signage and bookmarks that we provide to classrooms and class visits to introduce students to the concept.

Additionally, if a student visits our center in person for a subject we do not currently have coverage we will literally sit them down at a computer and help them get logged on to a tutor on eTutoringonline.org or show them how to view the schedules to find a tutor and time for that subject.

Happy to share more or any materials you may need, you can reach out to me directly.

I know i have not participated in this group but i and only part time and have spent the 1st year trying to get ourvl tutoring center back to being an active part of the college.

I am intetested to see what other learning/tutoring center staff feel about the usage of etutoring at their college.  Ours are not used much.. maybe 5 students a quarter.

Your feedback would be appreciated.

Subject: [Lcta] IMPORTANT: Update on Learning & Tutoring Center Council (LTCC)


Dear LTCA,



The LTCA Board has finally received some guidance and traction regarding our Learning & Tutoring Center Council (LTCC) proposal. With our persistent outreach to members within the Learning Innovation Subcommittee and the Instruction Commission (IC), the Board has been invited to present at the upcoming Learning Innovation Subcommittee spring meeting on May 15, 2025.



At this meeting, the Board will present the necessity of establishing an LTCC. In preparation for this, the Board has taken the following steps:



  *   Drafted and signed a formal letter of support for our Proposal
  *   Updated the Council Necessity section of the Proposal



The updates to the Council Necessity section were made in light of recent information indicating the IC may consider grouping our Proposal with other organizations seeking state-level representation as a means to manage budgetary and resource constraints. In response, the Board felt it was critical to strengthen the Council Necessity section to ensure our Proposal is evaluated on its own history, context, and merit. We believe our Proposal warrants an independent review and should not be lumped with the objectives of other organizations nor overlooked due to the current fiscal environment.



Please find attached the Board’s letter of support and the updated Proposal.



Thank you for your continued engagement and support.



Learning & Tutoring Center Board
