  • Keep accurate daily attendance records and oversee any make-up work.
  • Administer/grade tests, monitor homework assignments and maintain records including grades and progress of the students.

  • Have a general interest in the course and technology.

Some courses are more demanding of the facilitator. If you have questions or concerns about the level of responsibility, please contact the individual course instructors. The phone number and e-mail address of each instructor is listed in the Course Description pages, or you may call KET at 1-800-333-9764.
