This document summarizes a session on tutoring at the University of South Australia led by Dr. Stuart Dinmore. The session aims to model active learning through group activities, discuss challenges of small classroom and online teaching, and familiarize participants with computer integrated classrooms. Participants engage in thinking exercises like think-pair-share and 3-2-1 to discuss qualities of good teachers and challenges of tutoring. They also use an online collaborative space called Padlet to brainstorm challenges and provide advice to each other. The document provides instructions and contact information for Dr. Dinmore for further assistance.
