Implementation and evaluation of an E-tutor program

Chunghwa Telecom held an E-tutor program in 2005. The program used the X-Learn system as its distance learning system. Twenty-seven pre-service teachers and eighteen students participated in this program. Each student was matched with one or two teachers by subject (e.g., English or Mathematics). Through interviews and reflective journal, this study identified problems that the pre-service teachers will face during online instruction, and how the pre-service teachers feel about the X-Learn system and the E-tutor program. This study determined that pre-training, support from technical staff, and appropriate equipment are the essential to the success of the E-tutor program.
