New instructional technologies such as Adobe Connect allow instructors to invite guest lecturers from around the world into their classrooms to present exciting and interactive lessons. In addition, instructors can use this technology to present classroom lectures to their students while they are away from campus. Not only can Adobe Connect work well in lecture formats, it also can provide a way for instructors to tutor students via the Internet. In addition, to regular office hours and scheduled help sessions, faculty can arrange a time when they will be available at a specified Website to help students with homework assignments or help them prepare for exams. The student simply accesses the Website and is immediately in the instructor's “meeting room” where the student can pose questions either by typing them in the chat box or speaking into a microphone attached to their computer. Each student sees and hears the instructor as he/she answers questions using text material, PowerPoint slides, and/or an interactive white board on which he/she writes equations, draws graphs, or asks new questions that students can easily see on their own computers. This means professors can conduct these tutoring sessions and students can access them from any location in the world and at anytime of the day or night. In addition, these sessions can easily be recorded and remain available for student review. Student response to on-line tutoring has been very positive as it is being used in the Introductory Soil Science and Soil Fertility courses at Purdue.
