The Benefits of Utilizing Learning Management Systems in Peer Tutor Training
Crouse-Machcinski, Kaitlyn
Learning Assistance Review, v24 n2 p73-84 Fall 2019
Tutor training programs are essential for the success of a learning center. For the learning center to adequately serve its students, the tutors must be given proper training, support, and guidance. By utilizing technology, especially learning management systems (LMS), in tutor training programs, learning centers can raise their quality of tutors and contribute to the success of their students through these tutors. The following article will show how one University is using an LMS as part of their tutor training program. In addition, the definition, basic uses, benefits, and challenges of LMS will be addressed. If used effectively, other institutions can use their own LMS as a low cost way to improve their learning center's training program.
