Introductions

Personal Experiences First on-line class K-12 WebCT Wilkes U Pre Facilitator Training

Changing the Paradigm Licensed FST from PLS What did it look like? Who had to be trained? Incentives: Certified to teach on-line sections Professional Development Credit

Focused Research Learning is Social and thus interaction throughout the course is critical Feedback-especially in discussions is extremely important to students Course training for students in the use of the technology, navigation, etc should be offered Limit the number of students in discussions groups Need more opportunities for non-forced group interaction Pictures of classmates to help create connections Faculty shouldn’t make assumptions about tech skill levels Pugh, D. 2010

PresencePresence Deconstruction of DFS CriticalThinkingCriticalThinking CommunityBuildingCommunityBuilding CommunicationCommunication ContentContent

Prerequisite Skills (doesn’t interfere with ability to communicate) Good grammar/spelling (it’s the face of the facilitator) Fast (enough) typing

Content Teachers / facilitators must have a deep understanding of the ideas and content covered

Communication Voice-the ability to show/communicate personality and emotion (along with content) in writing Tone- consciousness/pur poseful use

Communication Verbal Skills Positive Phrasing/Needs Benefit Statements Supporting Statements Empathy vs. Sympathy Approval vs. Praise

Communication Neutral Correction

Examples I just read your article submission for the newsletter. You need to fix it. You misspelled several words, and some of your facts are wrong. You need to make the corrections by Friday. " I received your article for the newsletter. There are a few factual errors and several misspelled words. Please take a few moments to review it. Friday is the deadline for submission of any corrections. Thanks. I just finished looking over your article for the newsletter and caught a few typos. I also found what I think are contradictions to a few of the facts listed. If you are able to review it before Friday I'll still be able to get it to the printer before the deadline. Thanks!

Communication

Community Building Collaboration Culture Celebrations/Tr aditions

Community Building

Critical Thinking Diagnosing discussions (facilitator) Weaving discussions (facilitator or student) Deconstruction of online discussions Creating a response that is greater than the sum of its parts Pushing participants to dive deeper into ideas/content

Critical Thinking

Presence Social (students feel facilitator is there w/out being overpowering/controllin g) Purposeful (value added posts…every post worth reading by everyone, every time)
