Notes de l'éditeur
- We help universities and colleges connect with students, faculty and other administrations using information technology. Students can apply for higher education, faculty can learn how to use technology in the classroom, and institutions can offer courses online using our services. We provide the IT infrastructure and expertise to make it all happen.
- Facilitator functions fall under 3 main areas – based on Morten Flate Paulsen (1995) The title of facilitator can mean many things Involves designing and managing learning environments, as well as monitoring and advancing dialogue. Think of facilitator as attending to dialogue Can also very much involve design, curation of content, technology stewardship, etc
- Open doesn’t have to mean disorganized
- What do we mean by facilitating in the open? Complex - Depends on the context – wide open likely will be more complex Unknown - How many people will show up? What background knowledge are they bringing? Who is participating on the periphery? New possibilities - New tools, new ways to organize and distribute content Many hats - Technology steward, curator, Emerging and multiple facilitators -Sit back and hope for leaders to emerge -Allow others to invent new ways to manage the openness New formats Many different combinations Credit combined with open participation Less control - May be impossible to attend to everything learners are doing Selective attention Less likely can attend to all contributions Fewer opportunities for individual attention More organizational and less intellectual? - In large and distributed courses is it possible to monitor dialogue, build on contributions, craft interventions that will advance learning?
- Effective Online Facilitation - Australian Flexible Learning Framework 2002 How much of this is possible in an OPEN context?
- LMS mindset Short time, Moodle Moot conference, focus in on Moodle Why do people equate LMS with ‘closed’? How is LMS any different from any other tool used? It’s not! It’s as open and flexible as you want it to be I’ve never heard an anti-LMS argument that makes sense yet Moodle is a great example of how you can open up and be flexible in terms of content and participation If there are certain tools in Moodle that don’t serve your purpose, simply don’t use them – integrate something else
- From http://docs.moodle.org/en/Top_10_Moodle_Myths May 4, 2011 Many people see LMSs as inflexible

- Why do people think that an LMS is a platform for formal and closed courses? A matter of opening up your mind to how these tools can be used
- Where is the facilitator in open learning? Open doesn’t have to mean chaos. A facilitator can help to bring the pieces together.
- If you like the functionality of tools outside of Moodle, use them! Facilitator can work help to make the learning environment make more sense, integrate various tools and artefacts that emerge through participation Importance of Organizational Role
