Abstract
The supplementary distance learning enables students to meet learning needs not covered by the conventional educational system. The purpose of this paper is to investigate teacher’s role in implementing supplementary distance learning methods in combination with the conventional teaching methods. The research methodology was based on literature review for the period 1999 to 2013. The results of the research indicated that the dominant role of the school teacher is to moderate the learning process and to advise, support and inspire the students, in order to achieve their goals. It is also highlighted his role as a designer/facilitator of innovative modular teaching material, which will motivate students to involve themselves in the learning activities.
