Virtual Facilitator (Moderator) –
• " Facilitators stimulate learner participation and interaction by using small group discussions, collaborative projects, case studies....”
Where we seem to be going
Virtual Facilitator (Moderator) –• Share one idea here that describes how you
think your trainers could link learner participation and interaction around a group learning activity that can also act as an assessment task.....
• Take a minute or two and addto the chat box
Virtual Facilitator (Moderator) –• What might be the consequences of this type
of activity for the sort of course content you might need to provide your students?
Virtual Facilitator (Moderator) –• Consider some activities using discussions that
you can attempt to extend the value of online training after the initial learning experience, to build an ongoing community of learners
• Take the Microphone!!
Content• Make sure the content you create is easy to see. • Keep background templates simple so that they
don't distract from the content you want to share.
• Avoid gradient colors in the background. • Use a font type and size that is easy to read
(no smaller than a 12 point standard font such as Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman).
• Use visuals whenever possible especially for complex processes or procedures.
• Avoid slide after slide of bulleted lists.
Content cont…• Avoid using bright colours• Check download times for websites• Avoid lag times, pre-load everything

Tips• Name your slides to make it easier to move to
the correct one during a session• Use the volume slider to monitor your volume

Tips• Use the chat to
post any links or to have a back channel of communication
Tips

to communicate (all or once or one at a time)

between actions.
• Remember there will be a delay if you use the WebTour so let your audience know what you are doing
• Tools>>Start a Web Tour• Enter the URL that you wish to tour and
then click OK
Tips – Sites with Log in• For websites that require users to log in it will be
easier to use Application Sharing as participants will then be able to view your view of the website.
• Have all of the website URLs that you will be using in your session ready to copy and paste from a text document.
Tips• Application Sharing.• Have the applications open on your computer that you
want to share.• Sharing by region allows you to share multiple
applications and windows simultaneously. • When sharing by application, any new windows that
