SMARTHINKING Online Tutoring Service Now Available
Please announce to your students that SMARTHINKING, a commercial online tutoring service, is now
available. All LCC students can use SMARTHINKING; to sign on and begin using the service, they can link to
LCC’s “etutor” page from any of the following LCC websites:
• Learning Resource Center: http://emedia.leeward.hawaii.edu/lrc
• Math Lab: http://emedia.leeward.hawaii.edu/mathlab
• Distance Education Learner Support:
http://emedia.leeward.hawaii.edu/de/Learner_Support/Learner_Support.html
• Leeward Community College – Wai’anae (coming in April): http://www.lcc.hawaii.edu/lccw
In addition to a sign-in link and instructions, the etutor page includes information on the hours the services are
available and the subjects offered. Available subjects include:
• Math • Economics
• Writing • Finance
• Accounting • Physics
• Chemistry • Spanish
• Biology • Statistics
Students who need assistance in accessing SMARTHINKING can ask for help from staff members in the LRC
or the Math Lab, or from Emi Chang at LCC-Wai’anae.
Please note that SMARTHINKING online tutoring is intended to provide an additional support option for
students; it does not replace existing tutoring services offered through the Learning Resource Center or Math
Lab.
Try it out: If you’d like to see what the service is like, you can get a faculty evaluation account that’s good for
an hour’s worth of tutoring. To get one, contact Beth Kupper-Herr at ext. 413 or bethkh@hawaii.edu. If you’d
like to have an orientation session by phone with a SMARTHINKING representative, contact Beth.
SMARTHINKING services are being funded through LCC’s Title III grant. The planning and implementation of
this service at LCC has been a collaborative effort involving many people, including Randy Araki, Kaz
Chambers, Emi Chang, Leanne Chun, Beth Kupper-Herr, Laurie Kuribayashi, Jim Ogg, Penny Uyehara, and
Greg Walker.
