Tutoring for Off Campus Students
Guidelines to receive online math assistance

• This is a new service provided jointly by the Mathematics Assistance Center (MAC) and ProfEd.
• Available ONLY to students taking courses through ProfEd.
• Students MUST register for tutoring first. Click here to register!
• Within 24 hours you will be added to a blackboard shell for the MAC. The course number for the MAC is MTH000.
• We prefer that you set up appointments for math tutoring. We are limited to 4 tutors who can provide online assistance at any given hour.
• Under Announcements, there is a link to a WIMBA classroom where tutoring will be held. There is also a powerpoint guideline that shows you, the student, how to access and use WIMBA to communicate with tutors.  Directions on how to make an appointment will also be available here.
• When using WIMBA for the first time, there will be a setup wizard you should complete.
• You can communicate by typing messages,  drawing on a whiteboard with your mouse, talking into a microphone, calling the MAC, or using your own webcam.
• Tutors will primarily write on the whiteboard, allowing you to see a problem being solved the same way you would in a classroom.
• More information is available on the blackboard shell.
