1. What are the essential components of effective online facilitation?
2. What do students need most to be successful in an online environment?
3. What does the instructor need to provide to ensure student success?]]> 2016-08-10 19:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117927309 Take some time for reflection. What did you change, move, add, take away? Why? twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117927578 --Emphasis on facilitation should not detract from the importance that the instructor should have expertise and applied experience in the subject matter.
--Online environment demands an immediacy from instructors that is very different than f2f instruction with conventional office hours.
--The more exposure to different learners, the more growth. Mistakes are opportunities for future improvements. ]]> 2016-08-10 19:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117927578 Opportunities for interaction twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928318 2016-08-10 19:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928318 Opportunities for reflection twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928386 2016-08-10 19:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928386 Feedback twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928561 2016-08-10 19:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928561 Clearly defined expectations twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928948 2016-08-10 19:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117928948 Effective online facilitation is a pyramid with many essential components. twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929379 2016-08-10 19:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929379 End of page twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929515 2016-08-10 19:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929515 Model exemplary online behaviours twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929661 2016-08-10 19:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929661 Opportunities for interaction twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929673 2016-08-10 19:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929673 Keep a close eye on student participation as course goes along - reach out! twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929690 2016-08-10 19:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929690 Take the time to do own self-reflection twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929696 2016-08-10 19:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929696 Learning from mistakes twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929960 2016-08-10 19:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/117929960 Take some time for reflection.

Another aspect of the core: Facilitation demands dedication and timely responses to learners.
Another aspect of the core: Facilitators need to model exemplary online behaviours (frequent login, engaged, asking leading questions to further discussion). ]]> 2016-08-17 15:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118608416 Structured co-learning and team facilitation https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118621252 2016-08-17 17:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118621252 Learn by teaching -- student led components https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118621385 2016-08-17 17:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118621385 I added learn by teaching and co-learning/team facilitation https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118621486 -- Co-constructed learning is basis of adult education but instructor needs to facilitate and foster the process -]]> 2016-08-17 17:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118621486 I moved opportunities for reflection from growth to core twt https://padlet.com/twt/Reflection1/wish/118621903 meaningful learning cannot happen without reflection
