It is the role of the e-dean to ensure that the students studying online at their school make the most of the learning opportunity offered to them. This requires organisation and commitment on behalf of the e-dean, and an ability to provide pastoral support to their e-students. It is expected that an e-dean will have some time allowance allocated by their home school to regularly follow up with their e-students, and to ensure that they are attending their online lessons, engaging with their coursework and completing assessments.

In order for an e-dean to keep up to date with the administration requirements of the OLC, they will need to attend at least two online e-staff meetings each term. During the year, personal face-to-face meetings are also scheduled by the e-principal in your region, at which time any further support and training can be given.
