Well it is 2009 and the Certificate course has resumed!
Expectations for the week that I will co-facilitate with my friend Cynthia is Hawaii.
We have chosen the week that presents Pedagogy related to e-learning. My first concern is: How much of an expert will I be expected to be as well as actually facilitating the class? Surely I will be ready for this?
Faciliation can and does take many forms as one is faciliating the studetns interactions with learning objects, other students and the teacher/faciliator. So many options are available to faciliate interactions between students and teachers. These include the synchronous (WIMBA, Horizon) and asynchronous (email, discussion boards).
In preparing for this class, Cynthia and I will need to try out many of these synchronous forums, as we are not too familiar with them. We have a disadvantage of being off shore students in Hawaii and Australia. I think that this might push us towards asynchronous faciliation techniques during our weeks just due to sheer time zone issues!
Short but sweet,
Helen
