Student feedback on online tutorials
• "WOW, I am a 2nd year student and I failed this module. Why couldn’t we have this help last year?? Basically I love it.“
• “I definitely agree that online tutorials are a good idea because without them I would probably not understand half this subject."
![Page 32: Supporting the Net Generation Learner Professor Eeva Leinonen – Deputy Vice Chancellor](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfa81a28abf838c99466/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Conclusions• Technology can enhance the student learning
experience– Enhancing the classroom experience – eg using face-
to-face time more effectively– Enhancing the out of class experience – eg better
guided study, better communication– Making the teachers’ experience better – eg
automation, working more flexibly
