Navigate 1.2.1 – Describe Roles and Functions in Online Learning Environments Quest

The flowchart provided on the Open Teacher Training website is very helpful in designating the roles of the different stakeholders involved in a child's education. Everyone from the student to the teacher to the developer of the program must play a role to make the child's educational experience a success. 
This image (in the Navigate 1.2.1 Describe Roles and Functions in Online Learning Environments Quest) depicts how the roles of the online environment may vary across organizations, such as virtual schools, to a single person performing all tasks, such as a tutoring company facilitated by a single entrepreneur.

Additionally, I created this table to help delineate the roles of each particular person in the educational process.
