Activity 3.1 Exploring facilitation (Mon-Wed)
Most of our facilitation skills were learnt in face-to-face settings. Here we consider what is involved in taking these skills online with us.
Purpose: Comparing face-to-face facilitation to online facilitation
Task 1: Consider the following questions:
- How are online learning interactions similar to and different from those in face-to-face contexts?
- Which are the three most important face-to-face facilitation and teaching skills for online facilitation and teaching?
Task 2: Now contribute to the wiki page for your assigned group of four, where we compare online learning interactions with face-to-face interactions and highlight face-to-face facilitation and teaching skills that are useful in online facilitation and teaching. Each group will need to find a way to work together in the wiki. This is unlikely to happen unless someone takes the lead very early in the process and starts to enter some of their ideas. This will work best if your group starts by choosing one member as your facilitator.
Direct links to the wiki page for each group:
Group One (member names)- Group Two (member names)
- Group Three (member names)
- Group Four (member names)
If you are still unsure about how to use a wiki, watch our ' Screen Movie' on basic use of the wiki.
