The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education has 
made feasible distance learning in the form of e-learning. To succeed in 
e-learning we cannot just try to replicate traditional educational methods. 
ICT force us to review some long-held assumptions in relation to pedagogical 
principles and practices. In this sense, a key issue is the evolution of the 
teacher roles in such new ICT environment. This is the main focus of this paper. 
The results are based on the author experience in both conventional and 
e-learning environments.
