GARDUNO VERA, Roberto. Teacher Characterization in virtual education: Deliberations for Library Science. Investig. bibl [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.43, pp.157-183. ISSN 2448-8321.

Evidently, teaching in this century has been affected by the progress achieved in scientific and technological research. Educational innovation, privatization and commercialization of knowledge and a growing social demand for educational proposals have meant that institutions dedicated to education, have promoted programs which facilitate the sustainable development of educational services. Virtual education, as an alternative for this proposal, propitiates academic dialog among subjects involved in distant education. Characterization and guidance of teachers and tutors for virtual education in library science, as well as author-tutors of learning objects, are analysed together with educational standards for the development of learning objects.
