Abstract

New Associate Lecturers (ALs) come to the OU with varied previous experience of online tuition. ALs have a short period after appointment to gain competence and confidence in core tutoring skills and OU practices and processes. Alongside generic OU-wide training and support from their line manager and mentor, new STEM ALs are invited to attend a faculty-based programme of workshops and are directed to a supporting website containing information about training and a discussion forum. We present an evaluation of engagement by ALs with these induction activities, discuss barriers and pose solutions for improving engagement and support.
