Authors: Group 1 (Bulfer, Sennett, Gourley, Carl) Category: Online Tutoring Platform Grade level use: 11-12 Topic/discipline: Could be used in for all disciplines. Tutorial Information: Click on "How it Works" pre-written Q&A. Possible uses: Study with fellow students are tutors. Basic explanation: Students sign up and find teachers for specific subject areas. They then set up a time to meet via Skype or chat and go over what the student needs help with. The website is the middle man for payments. The teachers are given a rating by each student as well. A teacher could set up an account and only work with his or her students and offer times outside of school to help the student through this website. Positives: Students have a chance to get help outside of school in a convenient way. Negatives: The students are not guaranteed to get a quality tutor. There needs to be much parental involvement. I think that safety needs to be addressed.
