The tutor roles are to ensure that the content materials prepared are well organized in accordance with the course outline as well as the course duration. The objectives clearly stated and assessments are accompanied with a rubric, thus allowing student to be informed of what is excepted to them as well as provided an insight of how they are being assessed.

Tutors are able to monitor their students progression and vise versa. Tutors can provide feedback based on students work they have assessed, thus allowing student to identify their strong and weak points and be able to improve on the areas they are weak in.
