Narrative:

On a dual instructional flight the student accomplished a 'short-field landing' and approximately 2 seconds after lowering the nose wheel to the runway the nose gear collapsed. We slid down the runway approximately 1;000 feet before coming to a stop nearly on runway centerline. The aircraft switches were secured and we exited the aircraft. During the flight we accomplished 3 full stop landings and taxi backs. The final landing/touchdown was smooth with no indications of impending nose gear failure.
