Comments on: Outsource your tutoring? http://www.teach42.com/2007/04/26/outsource-your-tutoring/ Education and Technology by Steve Dembo Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:28:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steve Daniels http://www.teach42.com/2007/04/26/outsource-your-tutoring/comment-page-1/#comment-225184 Steve Daniels Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:34:10 +0000 http://www.teach42.com/2007/04/26/outsource-your-tutoring/#comment-225184 The wave of the future is online tutoring. I think that if you compare online tutoring to life coaches or any other online educational product then you will know that things are surely moving online. With Skype and all other video conferencing going on it will be a global tutoring environment in no time. The wave of the future is online tutoring.

The platform itself is quiet impressive, but I'm wondering whether you have students who have a seen sustained improvement? I have also heard of several online tutoring websites but the customer service and results are horrible. The other day I came across TutorJam (www.tutorjam.com) who claim to have academic directors who design lesson plans and watch the progress of students..This seems very similar to Sylvan or Kumon but is still online. Does anyone have any experience with this? I believe WizIQ seems to be a volunteer based network.

Thanks for the note. Since WiZiQ is something VERY close to my heart with years of effort behind it, I would like to point certain things out: 1. I am glad that the 'web 2.0 meets education' that you pointed out with skype, whiteboard etc. example is exactly what we have built WiZiQ around. We have built a virtual classroom technology (integrated in the website) for audio/video communication, shared whiteboard, content sharing (PPT, PDF etc.), annotations etc. It also has recording capabilities. Most of all, it doesn't need downloads and installations. 2. It wasn't intended to be just an outsourced tutoring website, rather a global community of teachers and students. 3. You mentioned a very important point, 'teacher you trust'. We have tried to use the social networking concepts (similar to linkedin's) to help students find teachers through their trusted network of friends. On the web site design, please let me know what parts you don't like (BTW, a new release is coming out in the next couple of days). Anyone, please feel free to e-mail me your comments about WiZiQ at harman@authorgen.com. I would appreciate any feedback that I can get. Hi,
