New and Changing Teacher Roles in Higher Education in a Digital Age
Wake, Jo Dugstad; Dysthe, Olga; Mjelstad, Stig
Educational Technology & Society, v10 n1 p40-51 2007
Digital tools are increasingly being used to support teaching in higher education. These tools place new demands on the tasks and responsibilities of the teacher, and can influence teacher roles. In this study we investigate the long-term use and development of a tool for facilitating the negotiation of meaning in argumentative student texts, through teacher and peer feedback. From this setting new teacher roles have emerged. (Contains 3 figures.)
