It\u2019s an idealistic novelty treat of a learning environment. It embodies the message that we are here to spur creativity and discovery. That\u2019s still valid and that\u2019s what we tried to do with our Facilitation Week. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We did try to create a digital design that was familiar and accessible. We also tried to make it as human as possible. Our synchronous session featured Audrey Watters who tackled the conflict between surveillance and control on one side, and humanity and freedom on the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking at the two questions put forth in my original blog:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How can we make digital facilitation more personal?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do our learning environments welcome learners or present barriers?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To address the first question: I think that we have to strive to show our humanity. We need to reach out across the bridge of our technology to communicate and connect. We tried to do that through a synchronous session. We offered honest, direct and timely feedback to learner\u2019s debate entries on Mattermost. These were two ways we tried to be persona, but I think that\u00a0 there is still room to increase the personal element.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In answer to the second question, \u201cdid our learning environment welcome learners or present barriers?\u201d, the answer is I hope so. One thing I discovered is that it\u2019s difficult to gauge engagement. Learners will participate but how can we gauge their \u201cbuy in\u201d. The answer is by soliciting anonymous feedback in a safe environment. I look forward to reviewing the comments. I know that this will be a learning opportunity, and that it will serve as a foundation with which to scaffold further learning, In Dr. Bernard Bull\u2019s Eight Roles of an Effective Online Teacher, the final role is\u00a0 co-learner <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Bull, 2013)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. That, for me, I have learned, is the most important factor.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off: I still love the photo.
