Online facilitation

As part of my work, I’ve often spoken and written about what it takes to manage or facilitate an online course. Whether it’s a short, 2 week MOOC, a longer 10-13 week module, or a full 2-4 year degree, the needs and time and effort to effectively support online and distant learners.

I had a conversation with Robin Gissing on LinkedIn recently, on aspects of his work and experience in learning and facilitating online courses, which he has backed up with a great series of LinkedIn posts. He started these in direct response to the news of the spread of Covid 19 / Coronavirus in the UK, and the hype about universities and academic colleagues needing to get their materials online.
