Method
A longitudinal study was performed between 2006 and 2008. We used observation, questionnaires and interviews with different stakeholders engaged in the implementation of virtual patients in courses.

Method
- The data was analyzed with the aims to:
- create a model and - suggest best practice
for how to involve a learning technologist in implementing virtual patients in a course.

Material
The study is based on data collected during 32 courses which involved 29 teachers and 2182 students.

Recommendations
-New implementing model where the LT is an interface between teacher and other persons involved.
What competencies are core and what are not required?
-The core competence is to function as a bi-directional interface between faculty on one side, and developers on the other side. The admin and support role however, is not a required role for a learning technologist.

-The core competence is to function as a bi-directional interface between faculty on one side, and developers on the other side. The admin and support role however, is not a required role for a learning technologist.
- Strengthening the identity of the LT will lead to a respectful relationship between the faculty and the LT.

Take home message
Learning technologist have the unique position to play a bi-directional interface role between VP authors and users on one side, and developers that creates the VP systems on the other side.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine near Krakow is one of the most ancient mines in the world. It has been operating since the 13th century. The mine reaches a depth of 327 meters, and is over 300 km long. Without a kind of“Learning Technologist” the mine would probably not be build and exist!?
