Technology and One-on-One Teaching

There are two contexts to explore related to technology and tutoring. The first involves fully online tutoring where the student and tutor do not physically meet for sessions. Within this option there is considerable variance. The second major category is using technology to enhance or extend traditional face-to-face sessions. Any discussion of technology is fraught with confusion over terms in this rapidly changing field. General principles as well as specific technologies are covered in this chapter with the understanding that equivalents or new technologies may soon replace them.
