Workshop Handbook

Learning Goals

The overarching goal, of course, is to prepare you to co-facilitate FLO.

To get there, we will spend two weeks in a community of supportive peers, exploring the architecture of the FLO from a facilitator's perspective. 

You will learn about the "behind the scenes" work and prep required, and you will be given opportunities to actually do some of your own FLO facilitator prep here, by: 

• creating artefacts, 
• accessing resources, and 
• modifying tried-and-true checklists for your own facilitation of the FLO workshop.

Because the main prerequisite of this course is having completed FLO, we will dive right in, assuming you know what we mean when we say things like, "mini-session" or "FLIF" (if you don't remember, you can look to the FLO Sandbox, or post a note to the Open Forum).

All topics and resources in FLO (e.g., about giving feedback, managing workload, supporting diverse learners online, etc) have direct application to your facilitation of FLO. For this reason, we won't be exploring those from scratch. However, we will have a look how they apply specifically to your work facilitating FLO.

This journey is intended to be short, practical, and rich with community participation and sharing from all of you, experienced FLO participants!
