Ten Tips For Successful Online Facilitation It’s all about ....... YOU .

1. KISS Keep it simple......avoid looking silly ( your humour may not translate the same online ).

2. Assumptions Don't assume anything..... Your learners may ‘sound’ web savvy but you may just discover that they are nowhere near where they need to be to be successful in communicating online ( or .......quite the opposite !)

3. Clear Communication Online communication is tricky.... face-to-face can be too.......it depends on who’s involved and from where and what and how.... Hi !

4. Engagement Connect with your learners using a range of platforms which support the learning experience ie. email, phone, handouts, learner guides ....scaffold your learners into the online environment

5. Purpose Every component of the online learning experience should have purpose ...be timely ..... be connected

6. Preparedness Know where your headed..... be prepared for change and ensure your learners are connected to the learning experience in a dynamic way

7. Responsiveness All aspects of your online facilitation should be open to constructive criticism

8. Building Trust Participants with an active role in your online session you will ‘feel’ included.

9. Blended ? Blended learning.....NOT replacing what we do best with something new rather .......using online learning as PART of the whole equation.

10. Knowledge | Skills | Attitude It’s all about fostering positive attitudes to communicating with others online......isn't it ? 
