How to Deal with Those Pesky Compliance Courses » The Rapid eLearning Blog

«I always joke about how many times I’ve had to take a course on how not to receive bribes, yet I’ve never been in a job where I was important enough to be bribed. The reason I had to take the course was because somewhere in the organization it was determined that everyone had to learn how not to get bribed whether or not it was relevant.»

Wearing 4 Pairs of Shoes: E-Learning Facilitator roles

This article, by Ed Hootstein presents a model for an e-learning facilitator who "wears four pairs of shoes" - acting as:

_instructor (consultant, guide, and resource provider ),
_social director (creator of collaborative environments ),
_program manager (director of the agenda ), and
_technical assistant (model of proficiency ).

 

It could be helpful to e-facilitators as a checklist of their capabilities.

 

Hootstein refers to Zane Berge's list of the primary primary instructional tasks of an e-learning facilitator:

_provide information to help learners complete assignments
_suggest ideas or strategies for learning
_help learners connect content with prior knowledge.

 

He groups methods for achieving these tasks, under these headings:

_Fostering learner-centeredness,
_Structuring problem-based learning and authentic work.
_Providing informative feedback.

 

His conclusion is that "Steps should be taken to develop standards for facilitators' roles in developing and implementing quality e-learning programs. Defining the roles is a step towards that goal, in helping facilitators be more cognizant of their efforts."
