Becoming a tutor

  • The development and delivery of course modules depends on a volunteer faculty. Tutors might be Public Health professionals who are academic or service-based, and in the current workforce or retired, and can act as:

  • Course developers (either lead or team members)

    Join or lead a team and collaborate on the development of a course module. We have a template which we will provide (and which has worked well to date). We already have access to a number of on-line resources that can be used. You do not need special knowledge of on-line teaching techniques as a team of IT experts are on hand to help out. We anticipate this will take about 10 hours of work only, all by e-communication.

  • On-line facilitators

    Facilitators who commit for a 2-week spell as facilitator for one of 5 topics in a course module – in which you have special interest or expertise. You would need approximately 2-3 hours a week as an online facilitator. Course module leaders would commit to an overview for the length of the course module (12-15 weeks).

  • Assignment markers

    To mark the final for-credit assignment
