We (the ITA) talk often about moving from instructor to facilitator. I’ll have to add it to my list, thanks!

While I don’t thing the “old” is entirely going away, I think you have concisely captured how learning processes are evolving and expanding. I suspect these changes could be positioned as changes in what is popular – the kind of learning processes most often accessed.

Perhaps one addition is ‘teacher to facilitator’ – our role as learning leaders is evolving from being experts communicating content to one that puts us more in the role of learning facilitator – facilitating learning through a variety of means, not just “teaching.” Another one may be ‘publisher to curator’ – rather than creating a lot of documentation, we are evolving ways to bring together some of the best material for our own use and for others’ use.

A worrisome trend is ‘deep learning to bullet points’ – I worry that in our quest for just-in-time and easy access we lose the deeper meaning behind the bullet points (a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing).
