I've nailed down the dates for my next online facilitation (online) workshop, an intense, too-content filled adventure on facilitating online interaction. The scoop is here -- Online Facilitation Workshop. As the page says,

"Online facilitation is an evolving art and expanding opportunity to empower groups to work across time and distance. Online work and interactions require facilitation skills beyond those used in face-to-face meetings. Group dynamics in the virtual environment combined with new communication technologies create unique conditions and opportunities calling for specific techniques and an expansion of our consciousness with mindful facilitation.


This 3-week INTENSIVE (and I'm not kidding - seriously intensive!) intermediate workshop (alternating on/off weeks over five weeks total) will provide you with the initial skills to guide you through planning, process design and facilitaton of online group interactions. We will explore concepts through key readings, discuss theory, reflect in personal learning logs, and practice technique. Participants should have some previous offline facilitation experience or understanding of group facilitation theory as well as at least one year of online interaction experience. This is NOT an introductory offering!"

This time I am adding a section on community indicators in blogging, a new piece to consider what "facilitation" might mean in the blogging world. It is experimental. Grin. And yeah, just what this course needs - more content! LOL. If you are interested, let me know. Also note there are two NPO/NGO scholarships. Check out the page. The "cost" of these scholarships is a comittment to fully participate in the workshop -- and I hold folks to that promise!
