educators have been encouraged to change roles again and again as we become more familiar with the capabilities of the technology and its uses in instruction.
instructors have been presented with the challenge of moving from center stage to more of a support role--a facilitator
we no longer need to be the sole source of all information nor the one who presents every aspect of the course or who controls how information is presented and re-presented for evaluation
we will be experiencing yet another change in our instructional role.
The challenge is now to retain certain aspects of facilitation but move actively into the learning process itself and become partners in the process.
the instructor is no longer at the center of the interaction and application of knowledge. The instructor remains as one of the resources available to students, a resource who can intervene when necessary and provide guidance in how to process the information of the course, how to better use the resources, and how to apply the core concepts to real life situations.
