The Office of Distance Education contracts with SmarThinking to provide academic tutoring for extension students in a wide variety of academic discipline subject areas (with the exception of composition and writing assistance which is provided by Appalachian's Writing Center). Faculty are urged to mention the SmarThinking support to their classes and to encourage students who appear to be struggling to make use of it. They are also encouraged to review the SmarThinking Quick Start Guide and to attend one of the regularly scheduled faculty webinars. As announcements about upcoming webinars are received, they will be posted to this webpage.
