A Digital Tutor is a teacher who is able to assume tutoring functions in an online environment through the use of information and communication technologies with the goal to enable students to develop and learn online in an effective, engaging and inclusive way.
The Digital Tutor has all the competences that a ‘live’ tutor has, plus the additional competences required to tutor digitally. The competency map defines the role of a Digital Tutor, to improve the teaching-learning process of online and blended training courses, to upskill online teachers and trainers as “digital tutor”.
The competency map also includes softskills. The objectives of the project Digital Tutors is to define the role of a Digital Tutor, to improve the teaching-learning process of online and blended training courses, to upskill online teachers and trainers as “digital tutor” and to create a resource repository to support digital tutors in their daily work.
