Faculty Dashboard is a task manager. In it, the professor can generate a specific task for students, monitor the progress of the task, and receive a report when the task is finished.
You can access the Brainfuse Faculty Dashboard through myLoneStar by selecting "LSC Online" and then clicking the tile "Online Tutoring". If you use "Brightspace D2L" to reach your courses, click on the "Brainfuse" access link that you created in your D2L courses.
Faculty can choose one of these three tutoring modalities:
- Tutor Match gives the student unlimited hours, free of charge, with LSC tutors. The student can make a one-hour appointment with a tutor of his/her choice.
- Live Tutoring give the students access to Brainfuse (i.e. non-LSC) tutors. This interaction will count toward the free-of-charge 90 minutes that a student has per academic year with the Brainfuse tutors.
- Writing Lab is an asynchronous platform where a tutor reviews the student's essay, sending back observations and comments. No direct interaction occurs between the student and tutor in the " Writing Lab". In this option, students can select LSC tutors or Brainfuse tutors.
Tip: For Montgomery tutors, the student should choose those names that end in MC (e.g. JaneR.MC).
