Effective facilitators need strong communication skills to collaborate with online learners and an authoritative presence to demand respect, as these skills allow them to effectively manage online classrooms. They should establish structure through clear learning objectives, goals, deadlines and use of information technology, and provide training on facilitation, collaboration, time management, feedback and interactive, motivating lessons.

1. Effective Facilitators
By Mr. Ferris Oliver

2. Identify 2 important skills
• Communication skills are important to be able to
collaborate with learners across the country effectively.
• Authoritative greeting is needed in order for a sense of
online respect from students is demanded up front.

3. Explanation
• I chose these two skills because they represent an
effective way of communication with online learners for
future success. If an educator, or teacher cannot
communicate with others effectively, they will have a
hard time controlling that online environment.
• Secondly, the authoritative presence is very important that
the level of respect is demanded upfront by the instructors
policies and requirements in their online classroom.
While sharing information online, the way one shares the
information shows students what type of instructor they
have come to be educated under.
