Online video tutoring

Definition

We define online video tutoring as a form of e-tutoring where videoconferencing between a tutor and one more more students is dominant. Online video tutoring also can be part of a more global e-learning strategy. This article only will deal with the former.

We don't have any data on application areas, offering institutions/individuals and demand.
