The role of the online teacher in supporting student learning: A case study
conference contribution
posted on 2009-01-01, 00:00 authored by Annemieke Craig, Jo Coldwell-NeilsonJo Coldwell-Neilson, Annegret GooldAs teaching and learning environments for many tertiary courses move to online delivery, it is important to ensure effective student learning is still taking place. This paper presents a review of the current literature on the roles of the teacher and e-tutor in e-learning environments. The research presented here is a case study of a wholly online course in which the role of the etutors was examined. This was achieved through analysis of their online interactions with students from two separate offerings of the course. The study found that in this environment the main role undertaken by all e-tutors was a managerial one. Differences were also noted between the roles undertaken by casual e-tutors and faculty staff.
