LearnerAgain I think the ‘cover-all’ term should be learner. I think most of the other terms place the learner in a secondary position to the teacher, which is often not the case. How many of us have experienced that moment when our children or grandchildren show us how to use the latest technology, play the latest game (online or physical) or use the latest terminology? More recently, the idea of the teacher/student relationship has been ‘adjusted’ by the advent of online learning and the opening up of education generally to older learners. Perhaps universities are the last bastion of the tutor/student relationship but even here there is a move towards mentorship – “the guide on the side” is now a well-developed idea in higher education.
So what is the role of the (online) learner?
