Are you offering in-person tutoring sessions?
Yes! Our tutors are available for in-person sessions. All in-person sessions must take place on MSU Campus.
Are you offering virtual tutoring sessions?
Yes! Our tutors are available for virtual sessions. Our virtual sessions take place using the online GoBoard platform.
What is GoBoard? (platform used for all virtual sessions)
GoBoard is a free online tool that combines video conferencing with an interactive canvas, designed to help students collaborate one-on-one, and serve as a tool to facilitate tutoring sessions. Your assigned tutor will create a GoBoard, share the link, and you will be ready to begin! It’s easy and user-friendly!
How do I use GoBoard?
Prior to the start of your scheduled appointment, your assigned GLC tutor will send you an email containing the link to access GoBoard (please note this will come to your MSU email address). We suggest you get on GoBoard a few minutes before the start of your session to ensure your microphone and video are enabled and working properly.
- GoBoard works best when using the Google Chrome internet browser (It is, however, also accessible via the Firefox and Safari browsers)
- You can access GoBoard using a laptop or a tablet internet browser (There is not a GoBoard app at this time).
- GoBoard will NOT work on your cell phone.
- Each GoBoard session is video recorded; this video recording is used only for GLC monitoring. The GLC Tutoring Program Coordinator will occasionally watch the videos as a way to provide feedback to tutors. Videos will NOT be used for other purposes.
- You will be emailed a PDF of your session at the end of each appointment.
- You will be sent a feedback survey to complete the day after each GoBoard session.
- If you have questions or issues using GoBoard you can email help@goboard.com or glctutoring1109@gmail.com.
You can learn more about how to use GoBoard by reviewing the Go Board User Guide Manual.
