Facilitator's Role - learner skills development and learner/community engagement

  • revise facilitator's role, from simply wiki skills development, to include learner/community engagement -- because the growth in WE will come from Educational Institutions' embracing WE. Value Proposition for Educational Institutions
    • particularly as some of the nagging problems with WE account registration, talk pages - become resolved
    • also, clustering within course - leading to pilot project (re: Jud-Guyana proposal example:
  • complete OER Teaching Resource
    • strengthen link between OER Teaching Resource --> Professional Development --> Pilot Projects
  • encourage learners to develop pilot projects
  • encourage completing of Post Workshop Survey
    • strengthen link between Pilot Projects and Post Workshop Survey - in terms of engaging colleagues within educational institutions, departments...
  • encourages 'junior facilitator role', to increase online facilitation skills, community engagement.... and bridge gap between WikiApprentice2 and WikiBuddy. Learn by doing - they get experience in return for helping us, and their colleagues...
  • encourage Rest & Reflection, at key levels in skill development
  • At end of course - send "If You Are Message, Don't Worry message
    • Build on Apprenticeship model
  • Develop Facilitator's Training Handbook
