Abstract

The new era of the information society and the globalization process have undoubtedly increased the challenges that higher education centers have to face.  In turn, the inclusion of technology inside the classrooms has allowed the implementation of new teaching modalities, online and blended learning, hence leading to a need on reflect not only how to teach but also on learning. Taking into account that the strategies and teaching models developed in the integration of the Information and Communications Technology (from no now ICT), it becomes a bare necessity to create an organizational structure in charge of these new teaching modalities within the university. Nebrija University is not a stranger to these changes. Since 2013, Global Campus Nebrija (from now on GCN) the department for the management of the new e-learning and b-learning degrees, is configured as a technological, methodological and educational innovation unit. The GCN e-learning model, which places the student as the center of the teaching-learning process, establishes the desired creation of figures that escort “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.” Hence, the figures will not only guide and accompany the process of learning, but they will also provide all the necessary tools for the acquisition of the knowledge, skills, and competencies The unique figures of the e-learning training manager and facilitator, emerge as support for the educational experience of the students and the teaching staff. The model of educational projects strengthens and gives value to the vision of teaching in the online and blended modalities, which always revolves around the students, as mentioned before. The different lines of projects provide the necessary tools to continue growing in a wider, open and complete vision of the digital world and the teaching-learning process.
For all the above, the objective of this paper will be to show the fundamental role played by the manager and facilitator both in the techno-methodological assistance and in the support in the different educational innovation projects launched at the Nebrija University by GCN.
