FDO course site

This is your learning space.

FLO Sandbox 

The Sandbox is your building/testing space. As a companion site to FDO, it is provided to 

  • give participants easy access to FLO to remember and review the course in detail 
  • edit access to FLO in Moodle, so they can try out some "facilitator moves"

Tips: 

  • It can become mind-bending, flipping back and forth between two sites. Use the tab or 'separate window' feature of your browser and check the breadcrumb navigation.
  • Items posted in the Sandbox may go unnoticed. If you want feedback or engagement on Sandbox contributions, be sure to bring it back to FDO!
