FLO Workshop Handbook

Earning Badges and a Certificate

Successful completion of Facilitating Learning Online requires that you attend to two different roles in the workshop: learner and facilitator. There are several tasks and performance criteria associated with each role. 

As outlined in the Workshop Handbook, there are multiple methods for reflecting on and assessing your learning and participation. The Intended Learning Outcomes, Assessment Criteria, and Rubric will help you to monitor your progress. What you (and others) take away from FLO is wholly dependent on what you contribute. As such, the badges awarded during the workshop reflect your investment in this learning community. 

How to earn badges

The following badges are available to you. They will be awarded by the FLO Facilitators upon completion of the following minimum criteria: 

Active Learner

• Introduce yourself in the Introductions forum
• Contribute a lesson to the "how do I..." forum
• Access the weekly Overview, Readings & Resources
• Provide feedback to at least 4 mini-session facilitation teams
• Share 4 journal nuggets
• Contribute to the Looking Back / Looking Forward activity

Reflective Facilitator

• Engage with your mini session team
• Review the feedback received for your mini-session
• Complete the FLIF (Feel, Like, Improve, Feedback)

How to earn a FLO Certificate

At the end of the workshop, a FLO Certificate will be awarded to participants who earned these two badges. 

When to withdraw from FLO

Sometimes there are circumstances that prevent us from participating as often and as fully as we would like. If you find that you are unable to complete the minimum tasks outlined for the FLO Certificate, then it is best to withdraw and try for a future offering. Notify the FLO facilitators of your intentions. In fairness to all participants, there is no "audit" option for this workshop.
