Webinar Tips
• For better audio/video, close any other
  applications (like Skype) that use bandwidth.
• Use the text chat! Post comments, ask
  questions, get support.
• If you want to speak, you must have a headset,
  and select the “I have a question" status on the
  feedback menu. The moderator will then enable you
  to “Broadcast” (speak) when you select that button.
• To maximize your screen for a larger view, use
  the link in the upper right corner.
• A link to the recording of this webinar and your
  CE certificate will be sent to you the day after
  the webinar.

Quick Poll



Have you ever facilitated
 an online community?
How many online
communities do participate in
    on a regular basis?
How many of the online
  communities that you
participate in on a regular
   basis are education
       communities?
Today’s Focus



• How do we create and sustain vibrant online
  communities?
• What is the role of the online community facilitator?
• What are successful facilitation strategies and
  techniques?
General Lessons

• Online facilitation takes time and care: “building it” is
  not enough to expect “they will come” or stay
• Tone and voice matter
• Opportunities for feedback and dynamic development
  are important
• Technology must support but not overwhelm your
  community
• Online facilitation requires specific strategies: training
  and practice in the online environment are critical!
Ten Tips for Effective
 Online Facilitation

1. Make everyone feel
 welcome and heard;
 create a comfortable
     environment

  and expectations at
       the outset
3. Provide behind-the-
  scenes support via
         email
4. Foster
  communication
between participants
5. Model participation
    and discussion
    techniques for
      participants
http://go.edc.org/discussion
6. Keep the discussion
     alive; prevent
       stagnancy
7. Keep the discussion
       on-topic
8. Guide participants
 through the content
9. Make sure the
 audience and the
content are in sync
10. Bring closure to
