12. Time management
Effective and efficient time management is a critical enabler of success in online learning. As an eTutor, you manage your time and contribute to effective management of learners’ time. In this regard, you enable learners to manage their time and avoid any hindrance to their time management. You will need to clearly specify the goal to be reached and manage your time to reach this goal by the end of the course, forum discussion or chat. You will also need to have, and share with learners, a clear schedule that contains important dates, assignment and their due dates and assignment deadline-reminder. You may organise your calendar on daily and weekly basis.
- Before the course start, plan how, and how much time you will use, to reach each milestone.
- Provide assignments on time and give learners enough time to do research and draft their response/results/products. Remind them of submission deadlines two days before the due date.
- If you gave learners group assignment, stay in touch with them. You may send them a motivation email and ask them to share their preliminary results.
