Create course on facilitation skills in online classes
#facilitation_skills
1. Design comprehensive facilitation strategies for effective online classes.
Learning Targets:
1. Conduct a detailed needs analysis to investigate learners’ technical readiness, demographics, and contextual constraints, ensuring data-driven decision making.
2. Define clear, measurable learning objectives aligned with instructional design frameworks such as SMART and Bloom’s Taxonomy, explicitly avoiding ambiguous goal setting.
3. Select and align digital tools (e.g., breakout rooms, virtual whiteboards) with pedagogical models, ensuring strategies are set to preempt underutilization of interactive features.
4. Identify common mistakes such as insufficient technical support and misinterpretation of learner needs, and systematically formulate contingency measures and best practices.

2. Implement interactive digital tools and environments to enhance online facilitation.
Learning Targets:
1. Utilize leading digital platforms (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams) by configuring and mastering their interactive features, while performing pre-session functionality tests to prevent technical oversights.
2. Set up and manage breakout rooms, chat functions, and real-time polling, incorporating test runs to identify and mitigate issues before live sessions begin.
3. Operate digital whiteboards and collaborative software with clarity, documenting standard operating procedures and best practices to overcome common configuration errors.
4. Monitor live session technical performance actively and troubleshoot issues in real-time, while maintaining backup plans to address frequent connectivity or interoperability failures.
