Week 2 Notes - FDO: The Deep Dive

FLO Week 4: Collaboration

The mini-session for this week is:

• Case: Team in Trouble - This is a story about, well, a team in trouble! It is based on real experiences of the team coach at RRU, and is intended to reflect some of the common conflicts that can arise in teams who are dealing with the expectation of working together under the pressure of deadlines.
  

In the FLO Sandbox review these materials to become familiar with the details, learning outcomes, and suggested approaches. This, combined with your own experience, may "twig" other ideas that you could add to the plan and suggest to your participants.

• The Week 4 Overview
• The Activity Plan in the Facilitation Teams Workspace

Also in Week 4:

• People are asked to check in on their "self-assessment" of participation. Use the results of this poll to draw attention to how they will be elaborating on the self-assessment process during week 5.

Tip:

This is a good time for mini-session facilitators to think about:

• how much team work is enough or too much in a course?
• how do team, individual and class activites inter-relate?
• should team composition stay constant or change throughout a course?
• how can flow and balance be achieved while ensuring participants are challenged and supported?
