Abstract

The chapter investigates methods for the implementation of synchronous teaching with lecturers and students in a teacher education college and discusses the importance of training for lecturers and teachers working with this medium. Additionally, the chapter relates to the planning of synchronous learning and teaching in various online environments for different purposes and shaping of the synchronous teaching-learning space. The findings presented here, are part of an ongoing effort to clarify how to provide an optimal student-centered environment in synchronous online learning platforms. Recognizing the advantages/disadvantages of synchronous teaching and its contribution can help teachers to exploit this media means optimally when planning teaching. Facilitators choose different technologies and teaching practices to develop and moderate learning activities. These are just some of the decisions that impact the role of teachers and administrators. As the technologies they use evolve, so ongoing research can assist understanding of the teacher's role in distance education.
