	Docent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A docent (the word being derived from the Latin word docere, meaning to teach) is officially defined as a professor or university lecturer, but the term has been expanded to designate the corps of volunteer guides who staff many of the museums and other educational institutions in the world.
		Docents are educators, trained to further the public's understanding of the cultural and historical collections of the institution.
		Prospective docents generally undergo an intensive training process, at the expense of the educational institution, which teaches them good communicative and interpretive skills, as well as introduces them to the institution's collection and its historical significance.

		The human docent’s performative function, his or her personal engagement with groups and individuals in bringing the collections alive on a tour as discussed earlier, is something that cannot and should not be replicated by the Cyberdocent.
