Abstract

This paper explores those mysterious beings, `teacher facilitators'. What do they look like? What teaching styles or pedagogical approaches do they use? It looks firstly at current literature on the role of the teacher in online learning, then examples of online curriculum project activities that show how a teacher facilitator can `enable other people to work in the way that suits them best'. .
