OWL (Online Writing Lab)

Online Tutor
Rio Salado has contracted with Smarthinking.com, an online tutoring service for registered students, which can be used in three ways:

  • Connect and interact with an "e-structor"(tutor) through live chat at various hours of the day.
  • Submit your writing or an online question to a tutor and get a response via email.
  • Schedule a personal online tutoring session.

(Note: Smarthinking tutors can answer general questions about writing and provide feedback on submitted essays. They do not have access to Rio Salado course materials or textbooks, so they cannot answer such questions as "Where in the book can I find the answer to question 3 in Quiz 4?"

Registered students can access Smarthinking from their RioLearn class portal. Click on the link from the left hand menu.
