Learning Facilitator

The Learning Facilitator track equips trainers and educators of all levels to move in a few directions:

1. Move from lecturing/public speaking to really having learners learn
2. Elicit learning and application from your learners rather than spoon-feeding
3. Create the conditions necessary for success in learning and application to happen

Unless otherwise stated, content covered in our programs will cover both virtual and physical classrooms’ applications.

Being tasked by your organization to train your colleagues on your subject matter expertise? New to delivering workshops online? This program will help you.

The fundamentals workshop seeks to equip to-be trainers and leaders in the skillsets needed to transfer knowledge and content effectively in a virtual classroom setting. Participants in the fundamentals workshop gains awareness and new strategies on eliciting learning from the participants in a way that can be applied, rather than the traditional way of downloading content.

Pre-requisite:

None. However, having a specific training project in mind will greatly help in enhancing and retaining your learning.

– What is learning facilitation: differentiating between teaching(classic style) vs transferring and eliciting learning

– Learning-Facilitation fundamentals 101: 

• Core skills
• Group management skills
• Basic program design
• Andragogy vs Pedagogy
• Experiential Learning Cycle in the virtual classroom

– Creating buy-in:

• Activity/Conversation framing techniques

– Processing learning:

• Processes and activities for intentional conversations
• Sequence of questions to elicit learning

– Question design:

• What, So What, Now What?
• 4F Framework
• Open/Close ended questions

– Virtual Classroom Technology:

• Conferencing platforms
• Collaboration platforms

– Learning disruptions & how to manage them

– Introduction to blended learning

– Creating engagement:

• Surfing the attention wave
• Adhoc tips and tricks!

Note: Our Learning-Facilitation in the Virtual Classroom: Fundamentals program do not teach the technical functionality of a particular virtual classroom platform. What we strive to do is to expose and get you used to the principles of virtual classroom management, such that you can train across different platforms.

– Delivered at least 80 logged training delivery hours after completion of Fundamentals

Topics covered in this program:

– Linear program design:

• 5-part model
• Gagne’s 9 Events

– Assessing readiness of learning: GRABBSS

– Various theories that support the delivery, e.g. Motivation theory, Optimal arousal, etc

– Increasing readiness of participants to learn:

• Framing
• Intrinsic competencies

– Creating space and environment intentionally

– Deepening the learning: read between the lines of the participants’ responses, or hear what is not being said
