I'm really enjoying this course. In our class last week we had small break out sessions where we had several roles within the group. Each of us had to be a participant, a reporter (took notes on the whiteboard), and the facilitator. It was interesting to use Elluminate as a facilitator. I'm used to being a participant, but lots to look at as a facilitator. I really enjoyed this and decided I need to set up sessions in my Vroom to practice this skill.
Then we learned some of the different types of online learning - synchronous and asynchronous. Many of the ideas are the same principle as a traditional room, but the implementation is different due to the situation. Online learning has the added challenge no body language. We also set up an initial contact as if we were online facilitators. Again some similarities, but than new challenges such as the technology.
Some of what makes this course interesting is that everything is new.
