>Facilitating Online Course (Open Educational Resource)
>
>
>
>Facilitating Online is a course intended for training educators as
>online facilitators of fully online and mixed mode courses. The
>Centre for Educational Technology (CET) at University of Cape Town
>produced a Course Leader's Guide as an Open Educational Resource to
>assist educators and trainers who wish to implement a course on
>online facilitation within their institution or across several
>institutions. The guide contains the course model, week-by-week
>learning activities, general guidance to the course leader on how to
>implement and customise the course and specific guidelines on each
>learning activity. The Guide and a specimen course site are
>available from CET at:
><http://www.cet.uct.ac.za/FacilitatingOnline>http://www.cet.uct.ac.za/Facilitat\
ingOnline.
>The guide is also available from OER Commons at
><http://www.oercommons.org/courses/facilitating-online>http://www.oercommons.or\
g/courses/facilitating-online.
>CET still has some of the printed books of course resources which
>are available on request. In developing this course we were
>especially inspired by the course model developed by Nancy White of
>Full Circle Associates
>(<http://www.fullcirc.com>http://www.fullcirc.com) and the model
>developed by the team at All Things in Moderation
>(<http://www.atimod.com>http://www.atimod.com). We also benefited
>from significant inputs by Nancy and by David Shepherd of ATIMOD.
>The course was piloted in the training of online conference hosts
>for the e/merge 2008 online conference. The development of the
>course was generously supported by the Ford Foundation. If you have
>any comments or queries about Facilitating Online please contact me
