Workshop Handbook

FDO Learning Activities

The key learning activities in FDO are:

• Unit Notes: provide context and content for each week, including readings and resources. You will find a variety of resource types (e.g., text, videos, etc). 
  
  
• Activities & Cases: are designed to get you thinking and preparing for facilitating the FLO workshop. Sometimes these will be done together, or done individually and then shared. Some of these will be in the form of short "cases" that highlight issues you are likely to encounter while facilitating FLO. The idea is to give you a chance to think ahead in a supportive community so you'll be better prepared.
  
  
• Discussions: a huge source of the learning in this course is going to come from sharing our experiences through discussions. To facilitate this, there will be asynchronous (forum) and synchronous (web conferencing) discussions each week on a variety of topics.
  
  
• Learning Journal: provides a way to reflect and record the what, so what and next steps you will take away and apply to your FLO teaching. Like the FLO workshop, we invite you to record your key learnings in any format you like, and share brief "nuggets" each week.
