Facilitating Moodle Courses Topic 1
This lesson compares online and face-to-face facilitation. It defines online learning as learning over the internet away from a physical classroom, which can be synchronous, asynchronous, self-paced, or facilitated. Face-to-face learning involves an instructor and students together in a physical classroom. While online teaching and learning is becoming more common, it is very different than face-to-face and requires new skill sets. As an experienced face-to-face facilitator, the learner's skills can transfer to online facilitation, but they should reflect on factors for their own success and questions about maximizing student participation, understanding, and retention to inform their approach as an online facilitator.
