About the Manual
This is a manual for all those who would like to take up the challenging task of acting as a Tutor in an educational programme following Open and Distance Learning (ODL) methodologies. To introduce the concept of self-learning, an attempt has been made to make the manual self-instructional so that it is:
-
Self paced (i.e., it allows you to work through it on your own);
-
Easy to read;
-
Easy to follow the instructions;
-
Illustrated with examples to enhance understanding;
-
Activity based to provide opportunities to reflect on and apply your knowledge while studying.
The contents of this training manual were selected by your fellow colleagues after they had attended a face-to-face training programme. It was their consensus that the information in this manual would help others become efficient Tutors.
