The document discusses the future role of teachers as collaborative facilitators in online and blended learning environments. It argues that with the rise of Web 2.0 technologies, teachers will act as guides who encourage collaborative knowledge-building between students using tools like blogs, wikis and social media. Teachers will need training to help students leverage informal online spaces for formal learning and assessment of soft skills like collaboration. Overall, the role of teachers is shifting from sole content experts to curators and facilitators of collaborative student-driven learning.
