Facilitating Online Learning
This is a short and very readable article that provides tips and suggestions for facilitating online learning. Although it was written specifically as a set of guidelines and reflection of experience for a Science program, the suggestions are definitely relevant to other disciplines. What instructors might find especially useful are the sections on Steps for Composing a Good Facilitating Message, Giving Constructive Feedback, and “What does a group/individual need to move forward?”–many other resources providing tips for facilitation don’t seem to offer the level of pragmatic detail that this resource is providing.
