About this eTutorial:

Advisor training and development (AT&D) provides advisors with the knowledge, skills, abilities, and encouragement to do their work. These programs may be incomplete or can become stale if their focus is primarily on the specific daily work of advisors. This eTutorial focuses on advancing advisor training and development to go beyond subject matter expertise and advocates to consider the intersections of AT&D with holistic work including self-care, intercultural competence, and mentoring. Those who participate in this eTutorial will not only gain a practical set of tools, but will also gain the knowledge to advocate on their campuses for a broader view of AT&D.  

eTutorial Details

Format
Participants will complete in-depth readings, post replies to discussion boards, and complete quizzes and other assignments. Participants can work at their own pace within each week. There will be weekly assignments but no set time to be online. Participants will have the entire week to complete that week's content, which could be completed in several days or done during the week as their schedule allows. By offering this information in an online format, participants are provided a learning opportunity that can be accessed either in their own home or office, and at a time of day that works best for their schedules. Assignments, including discussion posts, quizzes, and readings will be required each week.

The eTutorial is 3.5 (3 1/2) weeks in length. Participants should expect to spend between four-eight hours per week completing the reading, posts, and assignments.

This eTutorial is structured in a manner that allows the participants to develop an international network through interaction with other members of their cohort through virtual chat rooms and discussion boards.

Moderators
Moderators will be assigned to assist those taking the eTutorial by posing questions for discussion, sharing successful practices, and answering questions.

Assessment

Each week will include an assessment component including questions covering material and participation in topical discussions.
 
Completion
Upon successful completion (70% or better within the eTutorial) of all 3.5 weeks, the participant will receive a certificate of completion suitable for framing.
