According to me difference between supervision and monitoring are as following:
1. Supervision is done by supervisor and monitoring is done by monitor.
2. Supervision is for long time duration and monitoring is for sort time.
3. Supervision is wider term which includes monitoring but monitoring don't includes supervision.
4. In supervision there is more people touch (care) then monitoring.
Supervision is mostly used for people and monitoring mostly used for system and projects. Example - we monitor systems and not supervise them.
5. Responsibility of supervisor is much wider then monitor. For mistake of employee supervisor is accountable but same is not the case in monitor.

I wonder what you did wrong when surfing the web!! I found an excellent ppt presentation at nihfw.org... by searching the web using key words from your query. Please see Google to see what I did.
Have a nice day.

Hello,
Fundamentally both words mean exactly the same thing, though monitoring might denote more responsibility. The former word comes from the Latin 'monere' meaning to warn or advise, the latter from 'super-videre' meaning to watch over. Webster's Dictionary defines supervision as "the action, process, or occupation of supervising, a critical watching and directing (as of activities or a course of action)"; for monitoring, the definition is "to watch, keep track of, or check usually for a special purpose". Monitoring can be seen to be more specific in being aware of one particular matter, therefore. Often in American schools there exist milk monitors or hall monitors, who themselves may be placed under adult supervision, denoting how physically the adult is taller than the child. At some British schools monitors act as ambassadors of the school, setting an example to younger cohorts, while again they are themselves under supervision. In department stores, speaking to the supervisor will denote an employee who is stuck on a customer enquiry directing him or her to a more senior employee who has extra responsibilities while not directly monitoring the routine of the junior worker. In essence, though, both words mean the same and are to be treated accordingly.

Thank you so much all. Nashbramhall, I had found the ppt when i surfed - that was the only useful thing i found! I wanted more information. what you all have stated - white eagle and humresources is useful. I am in the middle of helping my managers identify from their Supervision and Monitoring plan, what tasks they do is supervisory and what tasks come under monitoring - which is where the query came from. So anything more that you can add that you think i can use will be most welcome!

It always helps to save time if bloggers give full iformation about what they foun when surfing the web and also give detals of the scenario and why they are dseeking help. For example, had the blogger said that (s)he had found the ppt presentation and given the link, it would have saved unnecessary correspondence.

Dear Sir,
Supervision is overseeing the persons at any job/casual overall supervision.
Monitoring is vouching their jobs and advising them, rectifying mistakes if any.

Dear Menon
I fully agree with the comments of " hum resources". Strictly speaking, Supervision is a word with authoritative component to get the things done in proper way. It is nothing but inspection and control. It aims at doing things in right direction. Monitoring is nothing but a " person or devise which checks, controls, warns, keeps record of something etc.
Literally, both the words convey the same meaning, but depending upon the nature of work and process, supervision and monitoring will take their own course of action.
