CBU Online has teamed up with Smarthinking an online tutoring site where students experience online tutoring that is simple, fast and always available. Students are able to connect to live educators from any computer that has Internet access, with no special software installation or equipment required.
Smarthinking provides online tutoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week enabling students to get the help they need when they need it.
Using an advanced queuing system providing little or no wait time, students are connected on-demand with an expert educator. Students work one-on-one, in real-time with a tutor, communicating using a virtual whiteboard technology.
Students who prefer to plan ahead can schedule a 30-minute appointment with a tutor of their choice. At the scheduled time, the student and tutor connect live using the virtual whiteboard technology.
All sessions are archived and available for students to review at any time for studying or test preparation.
Students can submit a paragraph or essay for individualized critique by expert writing tutors. By completing a simple form that provides the tutor with information on the writing assignment and requested areas of assistance, students can receive the help that they need with their writing assignment. Students receive feedback outlining the strengths, areas in need of improvement, and specific guidance to help them improve the quality and content of their writing.
Students who do not need instant feedback can choose to submit an asynchronous question. Using the virtual whiteboard technology, students submit their question to a tutor and the student is notified when their comprehensive response is available.
