- What is a distance educator? This joint presentation (with Dr. Stella Porto) will discuss the skills and knowledge needed by the distance education professionals in their various roles as leaders, managers, teachers and support staff. A set of requirements for each of these groups will be presented and the current sources of information and training in these areas will be discussed. Finally, the employment outlook for these various professionals will be analyzed, in relationship with the growth and demand in the field.
- “ Most of the roles identified were found to be similar with the addition, in this study, of a role called systems expert/consultant. Additionally, the competencies identified were found to be similar across all three studies. However, the emphasis in prioritization of the competencies was found to be different in the study we conducted from the previous two studies. Although the previous two studies by Thach and Williams emphasized communication competencies, the advanced graduate students group identified technology related competencies to be the most important.”
