3. Your plans for tutoring the programme
3.1. At your pre-assessment, you were asked, 'What kind of expectations do you have about people learning in this way?' and you responded - 'That it gives them flexibility'. Can you think a little more about what you mean by this - and how flexible is flexible for your carers, and write a statement saying what you expect the course to be able to offer in terms of flexibility? Can you describe what constraints and barriers are evident and therefore what is feasible.

3.2. In your pre-development assessment, you were asked, 'What do you think your role will be as the Lewisham tutor for eCarers?' You gave the following six tasks you expected you would carry out regularly:

Provide reasons/feedback about course work

Encourage carers

Find out how they are getting on

Provide solutions to difficult questions

Possibly clarify a question that they are not clear about

Mark carers' work

Do you still envisage these as your regular activities or would you like to amend them to add others, or re-phrase them?

3.3. In your pre-development assessment, you were asked, 'What do you expect will be your hardest challenge?' You answered - 'Possibly thinking about why a carer (particularly a carer who I do not know) might give a particular answer. I think not being able to put a face to a name.' Do you still envisage these as your hardest challenges or would you like to amend them to add others, or re-phrase them? How do you think you can overcome them now?

4. Barriers
4.1 Now that you have spent time with Angela and working on the planning for the pilot, do you foresee any barriers for the Learning for Living learners learning in this way? Can you describe them?
