NEWSFLASH!  PVCC moves into online tutoring with math in Fall 2008 on Sunday evenings from 5-9pm begining mid-September!

We are using Blackboard's virtual classroom, Wimba for voice, and the tutor has a graphic tablet and stylus to write the equations you ask about. In the virtual classroom, tutors can answer general questions in the group or meet in a quick breakout session.
