Wouldn’t this be the role of a facilitator? I have seldom seen an online moderator doing this. I think that the role of the moderator is more about levelling the excess and staying focused on the subject of discussion (like Sarah today on the online meeting ;-) ).<br />Like Debra, I think that the diagram make sense.<br />Cheers<br />HervéHervéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03827962727440592047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871434400631306083.post-82975193445264751332009-08-27T18:10:31.500-07:002009-08-27T18:10:31.500-07:00Great post!

I looked at the definition of 'education' then thought a bit about the "act or process of educating or being educated", and the fact that that process could be a 'facilitated' process, the students can be 'taught, and the process should be 'moderated' in some way (especially if it is a formal process). So yes, the roles can be interchanged, depending on the demands of the process , the forum for learning (f2f cf. online), whether the situation is formal or otherwise, the experience/ level of the students and the capability facilitator/teacher/moderator. This certianly is a huge topic.....<br /><br />cheers<br />DebraStoneleigh31https://www.blogger.com/profile/14098031296800356056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871434400631306083.post-7451657886688989932009-08-16T23:10:50.349-07:002009-08-16T23:10:50.349-07:00wow
what a thorough look at these roles.
Certainly...wow<br />what a thorough look at these roles.<br />Certainly your notions of overlap make such good sense. I suspect that a skilled "educator" someone we aren't looking at will include all three roles as situation demands according to their profession al toolkit. <br />That is the critical aspect of working to support/scaffold someone's learning experience and success.<br />Williewillie campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079686071039434056noreply@blogger.com
