Whenever possible, pair students who have a similar need for content mastery or skills development. 

Give students learning style choices by recommending two or three different types of tutorial materials.

Model tutorials. This will insure that both the technological and the learning problems that may occur are reduced. For text material, ask the student to demonstrate how he/she study-reads the material. For audio and visual material, show the student how to divide it into chunks for more effective learning with a summary following each chunk to effect closure preferably in writing to validate and reinforce the learning.

Let students know that both technical and content help is always available from a center staff member if a problem arises while completing a tutorial.

Test or have students self-test for content mastery. For skill competence, ask students to demonstrate the skill being learned or to write out the steps that are being followed to use the skill.

Ask students to maintain program logs indicating dates, times, titles of tutorial material, along with any problems or concerns that surface during tutorials.

Maintain a center log for each student.

Hold regular case conferences where staff can exchange successes and failures in their work with student tutorials. Anonymity is preserved by not using student names as staff discuss cases.
