It was strange reading this as it the general descriptions generally seemed to fit my current job, although I've never really heard the term used before.
I currently collaborate with the teaching staff I work with to develop the curriculum using technology. Educational value is the main focus of what I do. Although I have little authority over the curriculum we use, I have influence through technical knowledge.
I've been in this role for around 3 years (although it has changed a lot in that time and I have had some influence in how it has developed) and have been working for the WSET for around 4 years. I am in the 25-35 age range and am not involved in lecturing.
My role is broad and includes providing admin support for distance learning students as well as collaborating with other members of staff to develop technology use in distance learning and classroom based courses (we have just invested in interactive whiteboards and I played a role in the selection of these and am collaborating with teaching staff to develop activities to use with these).
Until I recently persuaded my boss that it would be beneficial for me to have more time to devote to other things, I was also the librarian.
Recently I have been gaining more of a managerial role for the elearning we do, so perhaps that represents me broadening out into more of an 'elearning professional'. It will be interesting to see how these views change as I read the other papers for this.
