Educator Model

Abstract

This chapter explores the specific duties of an academic to assist with decision making to aid in making the progression to learner-centricity. Academics are not only focused on flexibility and accessibility, but also other factors like resources and reasoning behind the instructional design approach to ensure proper working practices. Guidance is always needed whenever starting with developing strategies to support course delivery. A theoretical model is used to assist within avoiding issues of ‘one-size-fits-all'. The first section looks at guidelines that should be taken into consideration of course content, and how the academics need to have clear, well-defined, fixed goals that are relevant to the learner.
