In 2022, 38 synchronous training sessions were offered and 1 570 tutors were trained. Tutor training aims to equip tutors with the skills necessary to effectively facilitate student learning and to professionalise, recognise and offer sustained support for UJ tutors. Tutors evaluated the training sessions and their responses are captured below. These evaluations inform practice and ensure that the skills provided are responsive to the learning and teaching needs of UJ students. In 2022, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter were utilized as platforms to engage and establish a community of practice amongst UJ tutors. These platforms were used to post training dates, links to important UJ policies, and any other important reminders or information. Moreover, tutors have also used these platforms to ask questions about their practice. Through these platforms we have demonstrated that we promote 4IR and embrace platforms which are current and relevant to learning and teaching. @ujtutorscommunity Ujtutorscommunity2021 @UjTutors A top tutor award was issued to 47 tutors across faculties in recognition of the role they played in promoting student success. 38 synchronous training sessions were offered and 1 570 tutors were trained I feel confident to tutor. I learnt how to approach Tutorials in both face-to-face interactions as well as online sessions. My knowledge of the responsibilities, roles and duties of a tutor has increased and previous assumptions have been clarified. I have received tips on how to carry out tutorial sessions more effectively and how to best prepare for tutorials. Thank you very much! It was very helpful. The training was perfect. I liked everything about it and most importantly how we were being grouped during the session. It was very informative! 2022 ANNUAL REPORT: DIVISION FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE 67
