Roles in modern university teacher teams - a review

Teachers in higher education are challenged to offer high quality education. This review identifies current teacher roles and their combinations, while also considering the different contexts in which teachers may be working to face this challenge. These insights may help to promote ownership, professional development and cooperation in teams.
