Instructors
The future of business is not in brick and mortar institutions as historically viewed. The proliferation and miniaturization of communications mediums, cellular telephone, fax, Internet, personal data devices, and lap top computers, make offices available where people are – not where the office is. What does this mean in terms of education? The United States Department of Education (US-DOE) provides a look into higher education statistics for twelve months 2000 to 2001. US-DOE figures from that period show 56 percent (2320) post-secondary two- and four-year schools had online courses. Another twelve percent desire to go online within the next three years. Finally, 31 percent said they would not go online. Clearly, two-thirds of colleges and universities have or want online educational opportunities for students.
An instructor is a teacher or a mentor who guides students in a specific field of knowledge.

Finally the Irish Government has realised that it better do somthing about the worsening Learner Driver and Driving Test scenarios that are being played out every day and are unique in Europe. You can drive to your Driving Test, fail miserably and then happily drive off secure in the knowledge that it is unlikely that you will be challenged. This is all about to come to end over the course of the coming months as new and stricter Laws are brought in and enforced. With 420,000 Learner Drivers on the road something drastic needs to be put in place and right now!
More and more young people are choosing non-traditional education to start and advance in their careers while completing and furthering their formal education. "Typical distance learners are those who don't have access to programs, employees who work during scheduled class hours, homebound individuals, self-motivated individuals who want to take courses for self-knowledge or advancement, or those who are unable or unwilling to attend class" (Charp, 2000, p. 10). Three key elements surround the online learner: technology, curriculum, and instructor (Bedore, Bedore, & Bedore, 1997). These elements must be keenly integrated into one smoothly and operationally functional delivery tool.
The paper discusses an innovative approach to share the talents of the experienced faculty by new and inexperienced faculty members by using the modern information technology tools. The paper focuses on the methods the Higher Technical education is conducted in India and how the scarce resources can be optimized. This will ultimately result in achievement of higher levels of understanding by the students who could be located any where in any of the institutions affiliated to a typical Indian University.
