Manual for the Tutors of Learning Centres in Open Schools: Bangladesh Edition

Abstract

This is a manual for all those who would like to take up the challenging task of acting as a Tutor in an educational programme following Open and Distance Learning (ODL) methodologies. To introduce the concept of self-learning, an attempt has been made to make the manual self-instructional so that it is: Self paced (i.e., it allows you to work through it on your own); Easy to read; Easy to follow the instructions; Illustrated with examples to enhance understanding; Activity based to provide opportunities to reflect on and apply your knowledge while studying. The contents of this training manual were selected by your fellow colleagues after they had attended a face-to-face training programme in Bangladesh. It was their consensus that the information in this manual would help others become efficient Tutors.
