- 83. Online discussion boards Messages within threads are like stacking dolls – as participants reply to individual messages, the thread gets “deeper”. As a facilitator, it is important to note the depth of threads, and keep in mind that sometimes people hit “reply” to the main message, when in fact they are replying to a message deeper down in the thread. flickr photo by Grumbler %-|

Notes de l'éditeur
- Pop quiz – who can tell me the difference between asynchronous and synchronous communication?
- Last class we focused more on the technical details of online facilitation. I asked you to choose and spend some time with an online facilitation tool or service.Any questions or trouble with the assignment? What did you find? Ask for volunteers to share.
- Last class we focused more on the organizational, planning, and technical aspects of online facilitation. Today, we are going to focus more on what facilitators DO. Quiz: does anyone know the root of the word facilitation?Cequequelqu’uniciparlefrancais? C’est le contraste de difficile: Facilitate, from the french “facile”, meaning “easy”
- You make things easy: You make something easier to understand. You make it easier to get work done. You facilitate a process, you facilitate communication, you facilitate understanding. No matter what you call your facilitator, the basic purpose remains the same.
- This morning we are going to talk about what you can do as a facilitator to ensure the success of your online group – whatever that group may be.
- Ice-breakers and introductory activities are an important part of any online session. These serve to get the group comfortable and talking to one another, getting to know everyone. These activities can be started as group members “arrive” online in synchronous sessions, and can be used to fill the space while everyone shows up. They can also serve as a “sound check” to ensure that everyone can see/hear what is going on.

- This is a big one – it gets to the root of your role as a facilitator.

- The difficulty of language online – because many communication cues are lost, things can be misinterpreted – often things are interpreted literally. Sarcasm, humour, and conflict can all be trouble areas. Talk about moderating language.

- One of the things a facilitator must do is create a comfortable, enjoyable environment for participants.
- Activity: go around the room, each person telling a joke. Afterwards, share with the group – what went through your mind when you told the joke? What did you consider when choosing what joke to tell?
- The history of emoticons actually goes back as far as the 19th century, when people in casual or humorous writing. Emotion + icon = emoticon. Emoticons can be used to change (and hopefully improve) the interpretation of plain text – they can be used to lighten the mood, or express another emotion that words cannot alone.

- For bonus points: Who invented the emoticon as we know it today? Scott Fahlman, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University first included emoticons in a university communication in 1982. Emoticons can be used as an ice-breaker activity as well. Have your own emoticon quiz, or get participants to make up an emoticon of their own.

- Even emoticons are culturally bound – the style we are used to is more typical in Western societies. The emoticons on this slide are the kind typically used in Eastern countries. At least you don’t have to tilt your head to see them!
- It is easy to add graphics and photos to presentations and other online materials. There is no shortage of funny pictures on the Internet! You may even be able to find something topically relevant. Start collecting a “stash” to use.

- Find a balance between keeping the conversation going in the right direction, while still acknowledging participants’ contributions.

- Online communities of every type grow and change over time. As communities develop, the way you conduct online sessions will change. You will spend different amounts of time on different kinds of activities.
- As your online group grows and develops, you want to give more of the responsibilities and ownership of the functioning of the group over to your participants. As everyone becomes more familiar with the online environment and group procedures, you can hand over some of the responsibilities for keeping things running. You can ask your participants to act as time-keepers, note takers, and moderators.
- When it gets right down to it, there are some things you can’t do online (at least not with current technology). So it becomes important to use your online space in a constructive way. Getting your group to go out and do something will give you something to talk about when you get together online.
- Providing the opportunity for reflection is one of the greatest strengths of the online environment – participants can record their thoughts individually, discuss with others, and get other viewpoints.
- For the lab portion of this class, we are going to spend some time in an online discussion board. Keep in mind all of the things we talked about regarding communication (particularly written communication) this morning.
