Abstract
AbstractE‐tutoring refers to individualised learning support mediated by Internet technology. While increased demand for tutors has led to a surge in commercial e‐tutoring services, volunteer e‐tutoring programs for children are rare. To test the viability of volunteer e‐tutoring for elementary school students, 10 undergraduate students enrolled in a technology education (TE) course provided online with instructional support to children in need of tutoring services. Each e‐tutor was assigned a specific child, developed a Web Course Tools course and corresponding online activities to improve teacher‐identified skill deficiencies, and provided 8 weeks of e‐tutoring. Three video conferences complemented online instructional interaction between e‐tutor and e‐tutee. Children, parents and TE students expressed positive evaluation of the initiative.
