NPC is collaborating with Tutor.com to provide tutoring services to students. Tutor.com offers one-on-one personalized online tutoring services and covers a variety of subjects. Students can schedule tutoring time and get help when they need it. Tutor.com also offers drop-off essay review to help students improve their writing skills. In addition, students can take diagnostic quizzes from different covered subjects on tutor.com.
Tutor.com tracks usage and provides diagnostic data. The data information provides faculty with timely insight into the specific learning challenges that students have. This allows faculty and student success staff to better support students in achieving academic success.
Faculty can add Tutor.com in the courses in Moodle (see instructions below). Once the course has the Tutor.com link then students can access the tutoring services for FREE without additional costs and any of the tutoring services across different subjects can be utilized.
To include Tutor.com in an NPC course shell in Moodle, please follow the instructions listed below:
Turn Editing on at your course page in Moodle
Click "Add an activity or resource" on the course page. NOTE: The Tutor.com link may be placed at the top of the course page in Moodle so students can easily access it.
Select "External tool"
Type Tutor.com in the Activity name box (or provide a customized name for the Tutor.com link)
Select Tutor.com from the Preconfigured tool list
Select the "Privacy" tab then uncheck the box to "Accept grades from the tool". NOTE: This will cause the Grade Tab to disappear.
Click "Save and return to course"
After adding the Tutor.com tool, a link to the resource should be available in your course in Moodle. Students who are enrolled in the course will be able to access the Tutor.com resource from within the course shell.
NOTE: The Tutor.com block is no longer available in the Moodle LMS so it should be removed from current courses and instead a link should be created to the Tutor.com tutoring service.
If you need any assistance with setting up Tutor.com in your course in Moodle, please contact the NPC Instructional Technology and Curriculum Support Department at ITCSDepartment@npc.edu. For more details about tutor.com, visit the website at https://tutor.com/.
