Techlearning > > Facilitation: the Anti-Lecture > December 1, 2004
What at great summary of online Facilitation, as the year is coming to an end I'm think more and more about what I want to change next year and one of the major thinks is the I want to focus on the social aspects of the class groups more.
The major points the article makes are :
The facilitator is a leader
Facilitation: the Anti-Lecture eg assistance and guidance
The Facilitator is Neutral eg try and not take sides
The Facilitator Builds Trust
The Facilitator Facilitates Communication prompt feedback is important
The Facilitator Fosters Social Interaction eg use introductions
The Facilitator Asks Questions - use open questions
