Introduction
The IST World Campus Peer Tutoring Program is a centralized academic support resource for students in World Campus who are enrolled in College of Information Sciences and Technology programs at Penn State. We’re a student managed program funded by the College, and we provide one on one coaching to help students practice and reinforce concepts in the College of IST majors that exist online. Our subject specific tutors who staff our sessions maintain partnerships with members of the faculty to meet their expectations pertaining to course operation. The job of the tutors is NOT to re-teach course material. Rather, the tutoring team will aid students in their learning by helping to clarify unclear concepts and by supporting students as they practice skills and apply new understandings.
