The role of an on line faciliator

15-September-2006

Magda Balica tells the story of the role she played as an on-line facilitator of a course in Romania

I am at the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Geneva. At the last session I attended Magda Balica told her story of running an on-line course. It is great story and I have recorded it and will produce a short video in th next couple of weeks.

I particularly liked her description of the role she played as a facilitator:

  • shepherd
  • keeper of the purpose
  • guardian of the community
  • timekeeper
  • co-explorer of meaning
  • co-explorer of contexts
  • mover of inquiry
  • host as a banquet

Right on Magda. Says it all. I will post the audio / video on this site as soon as I have finished it.
