In 2003–04 the Open University offered its first German beginners’ course with a dual tuition strand: tutorials were delivered either face‐to‐face or online using synchronous, audio‐graphic, Internet‐based conferencing software. For the new online tutors, a special training programme was designed and delivered. We evaluated the benefits of our training through a brief questionnaire and in‐depth interviews with selected participants. The outcomes are two‐fold: proof of the necessity of pedagogical training for tutors who work in a new and fast‐moving field, and some recommendations for best practice in training tutors for online tuition.
