| Popis: | In an ODeL context, the design step of the design process is regarded as a vital component that should be taught in the Technology curriculum. Teaching the design step in an ODeL setting places specific expectations on qualified e-tutors who can prepare students for the workplace. The central question of this research is "How does e-tutors' technical knowledge influence effective teaching and learning of the design step?" The study focused on postgraduate students enrolled in a semester module in 2020. An online survey was used to investigate the technological expertise of e-tutors in order to facilitate the design process step for advancing giftedness in students in an ODeL setting. The information gathered from five e-tutor sites was analyzed. The findings reveal that e-tutors in ODeL settings lack the ability to choose technologies that will help students understand the design step content. Suggestions: based on the present model, an alternate technique for e-tutor appointments is proposed. |
