◄Module 3: Facilitation tools, techniques & methods3.2 You as virtual learning facilitator►

3.1 You & virtual facilitation

  • 3.1 You & virtual facilitation

    • You are entering the first section of the Module 3. In this submodule you will learn the basic differences between the virtual and classroom facilitation, asynchronous and synchronous facilitation and  what are their challenges.

    • Discussion 3.1: Your experience with facilitation Forum

      Before we kick the actual studying off, let`s take some time for self-reflection; our own experience in virtual learning facilitation. Take your time to think about answers to the following questions:

      • Have you ever facilitated any course, or workshop? If so, was in F2F or virtual environment? 

      • What was your contribution as a facilitator to the learning process and why did you find it useful? 

      • If you have never facilitated a course, elaborate on what you would expect from a good facilitator in virtual environment. What is her/his contribution to the learning process? What are the advantages of the facilitation in general?

      Optional but recommended: please write a post in the discussion forum answering these questions preferably by using your real life examples. If you have no experience in facilitating a virtual or F2F workshop, use those that you gained as a student/participant of a facilitated course. 

      Important note: read through your peer`s posts and react if you like, it is more than appreciated. Try to get to know your peers; the feeling of a fellowship might help you overcome tougher part of the module later on. Remember, we are in this together!
