Online collaborative learning is an effective approach of learning, and e-tutor plays a vital role in the success of online learning. This paper first reviewed the relevant study on e-tutor´s roles in online learning and proposes that it is through discourse that e-tutor builds his identity and realizes his role.

The discourse strategies that the e-tutor employed are also discussed with the discourse example.
