Servant-leadership: the Online Way!
E-learning where community building is key

English Abstract

The digitalisation of educational communities has increased rapidly in the last decade. Modern technologies transform the way educational leaders such as teachers, tutors, deans and supervisors view and manage their educational communities. More often, educational leaders offer a variety of gateways, guiding the e-learners in their search for finding and understanding information. A new type of leader is required for understanding the needs and requirements of geographically dispersed e-learners. This calls for a compassioned kind of leader, able to reconcile the dilemma of high-tech versus hi-touch in the online classroom. This article examines servant-leadership and its implications for e-learning in the 24/7 classroom where community building is key.

Dutch Abstract

De digitalisering van het onderwijs heeft een enorme vlucht genomen in het laatste decennium. Moderne technologie heeft grote veranderingen teweeg gebracht in de manier waarop leidinggevenden in het onderwijs zoals leerkrachten, begeleiders, dekanen en supervisors hun onderwijs(groep) beoordelen en managen. Steeds vaker bieden leidinggevenden in het onderwijs diverse toegangswegen tot leren aan, waarbij ze e-learners helpen bij het zoeken en vinden van de juiste informatie. Een nieuw type leider is vereist om tegemoet te komen aan de behoeften en wensen van de geografisch verspreide e-learners.  Dit vraagt om een leider met compassie, in staat om het dilemma van high-tech en high-touch met elkaar te verzoenen in de online klas. Dit artikel onderzoekt de implicaties van dienend-leiderschap ten behoeve van e-learning in de 24/7 klas waar het bouwen aan een gezamenlijke gemeenschap essentieel is.
