whether academic, professional or hobby-related. Real-life teachers, students,
professionals, even hobbyists who have Knowledge to offer can teach and tutor others.
From maths and marketing to painting and cooking, there are over 400 subject
categories in which you can register your Knowledge Asset.
Knowledge Assets are any Knowledge offering that you would like to teach at Limu, from courses and degree programmes to tutoring sessions and lifelong learning.
You can offer a one-hour introduction to a subject or a Knowledge Asset consisting of several sessions held over a period of weeks or months. Because Limu is a Knowledge marketplace, it is you who decides what content to offer and how to structure your offering.
Teaching and tutoring at Limu is based on the Teacher and Learner(s) meeting and interacting live and online in Limu's browser-based Virtual Classroom. With full moderation facilities, live voice chat, live text chat and a virtual drawing board, their Classroom offers you all a traditional classroom would and more. The Virtual Classroom is accessible at all times, even outside scheduled session times, allowing you to post messages to your Learner(s) in the forum (the online discussion board), or upload files and materials to the library. Transcripts of all live sessions are available to all participants during the Knowledge Asset and after it has been completed.
As an alternative to posting your own Knowledge Assets, you can search their database of 'wanted Knowledge Assets' that have been posted by Learners who are searching for a Teacher in a particular field or subject. You can respond to these postings if you can meet the Learner's needs.

How to Be an Online Tutor -
Julia Duggleby
Five Star Reviews on Amazon
This book assumes little in the way of technical expertise - just some basic
experience of the World Wide Web and email, but no more. It isn't intended as a
technical primer, but rather as a guide to translating what educators already do,
in terms of training and facilitating learning, into an online environment, within
the conversion of existing courses or in the creation of new ones. In the process,
the book explores the nature, benefits and pitfalls of online learning and the
technical skills of sourcing materials, planning, designing and testing courses.
Despite, or perhaps because of the use of technology, the online tutor has a
very important human role in engaging, reassuring, welcoming and supporting
the course members. The book focuses on how to provide a climate in which
people can take responsibility for their own learning; how to guide learners through
the course so that they complete it successfully; and how to be a facilitator
for learning, leaving the technology and other learners to deliver the content.
