Over here Doug Belshaw is asking for help drawing up the job description for his new role as ‘E-learning tutor’. Rather than leave a lengthy thread there, I’d thought I’d add more thoughts here… Doug, As you know I’ve been battling this one myself (although unofficially) for the last couple of years.
