We can make the online teaching process simpler by using eTeaching templates. These templates, or a templated teaching process can be incorporated onto a teaching website, and guide educators through a pedagogically sound teaching and engagement process with students.

Reflect on the past, plan for the future, live in the present

The role of an educational coach is manifold - to understand the background, as well as educational and training needs of our students; to guide, give feedback, motivate, and assist in planning a personalised educational and training program; to monitor progress, and work with our students to further customise their learning.

An area where we can add value as educators is to create, collect and curate a collection of educational resources, which are indexed, and hyperlinked; in order to make it available, and accessible for our students.

Having access to the vast resources available on the internet, similar to having access to a well stocked, comprehensive library, or even a good textbook, does not necessarily mean that our students have the time, or capacity to absorb this wealth of information. There is a continuing role for the teacher to guide, highlight, reinforce and contextualize this information. Illustrate its relevance. Show how, and where it might be used.
