The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Tutor

Kirk, Pauline

Teaching at a Distance, 7, 3-6, Nov 76

The situation of the part-time tutor at the Open University is examined by a staff member. Consideration is given to the sense of isolation, the part-timer's general role in the university and limitations enforced by that role, and the contribution part-timers could make to course maintenance and planning.
