Facilitating Learning Online - APR2015-OER

Throughout FLO, you'll notice that our role as workshop facilitators changes, depending on what's going on in each week.

In the beginning, we play a more active role in facilitating the learning activities, posing questions, and answering queries from you and your fellow participants. 

After our demonstration of the mini-session process in week 2, we'll step back aa bit to make way for you to lead the discussions and other activities (i.e., your mini-sessions). We'll assist in the planning and organization of each mini-session and participate in the feedback cycle (and, overall course management), but we'll expect that you will take on an increasingly active role in the maintenance of the online learning community.

So, although we may not participate in the mini-sessions, we are actively monitoring the activity and seeking ways to enhance the learning opportunities available to you as mini-session facilitators and participants.
