About the Workshop Content
The materials and design of this workshop build on the open educational resource that has been available through Royal Roads University (RRU) since 2005. The design is based on the Instructional Skills Workshop (http://iswnetwork.ca/) in that activities provide an authentic environment for faculty to learn about and practice skills related to facilitating and assessing learning. It is different from the face-to-face Instructional Skills Workshop in that all activities take place online, and are focused on online teaching and learning.
In September, 2013 the workshop was revised and implemented at BCampus - SCoPE for the first time. Since that date the FLO has been offered many times, awarding certificates to faculty and staff from B.C. post-secondary institutions across the province.
In February 2015, the name of the workshop changed from Instructional Skills Workshop Online (ISWO) to Facilitating Learning Online (FLO), to more close reflect the focus on online facilitation.
