What is Staff Development for Open Learning Tutors. An Appraisal of Staff Development Needs for the North Yorkshire Open Learning Scheme. FEU PICKUP Project Report about?

A project aimed to identify the staff development needs of tutors involved in the OWTLET (Other Ways To Learn--Educational Technology) open learning scheme and to pilot supportive strategies. To ascertain a broad view of inservice tutor training requirements, the first phase of the project was devoted to a literature review, student and tutor questionnaires, visits to established open learning centers, and attendance at open learning workshops. Phase two comprised three strategies: modification of administrative procedures, a series of staff development meetings for tutors on five topics (learning materials; initial interview; maintaining contact; information, advice, and counseling; review and open forum), and preparation of three staff development units. The units, which covered 10 areas of guidance, were offered in open learning form. Appendix A contains the three units: The Concept of Open Learning, The Initial Meeting, and A Continuing Dialogue. Each unit consists of these components: aim and objectives, study guide, questions to guide reading and informative material, and a conclusion. Appendix B is a list of materials for further reading.
