Week 2 Notes - FDO: The Deep Dive

The mini-session this week is:

• Responsive Facilitation - focus on facilitation issues in supporting online learners, drawing on some of the ideas around teaching presence and exploring specific facilitation responses to support students and to encourage better learning.

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 3 Overview
• The Activity Plan in the Facilitation Teams Workspace

Tips:

• You should be facile with the recommended tools to support collaborative group work for this mini-session: Google Docs, Wiki.
• You should also be familiar with tools for creating multimedia resources such as screencasts or videos  in case your mini-session facilitators need help or inspiration.
  
• The case study is a good option for somebody who doesn't have a great deal of online course experience because much of the preparation is already done.
