An example this would be a forum that is moderated by the facilitator and allows learners to participate outside the boundaries of time and space.<\/li>\n<li>My third, and last thought, relates to the image I chose. I\u2019ve observed that virtual environments can be a daunting from the standpoint of a lack of the ability to remove oneself from the increased expectation to engage online. Lately, I\u2019ve been intentionally shutting my laptop and phone off. This development is particularly ironic as I enrolled in the MALAT to upgrade my skillset in digital learning. I\u2019m curious to see how the evolution of my career aspirations align, or realign, as a result of my personal experiences as a learner, and designer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>2 questions<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Has the pandemic changed the landscape of digital facilitation forever?<\/li>\n<li>If so, what\u2019s the silver lining of the impacts?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>1 image<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>For me, as an extroverted introvert, the amount of \u2018face time\u2019 with my colleagues, both at work, and in the MALAT program, since working virtually beginning in March has proven to be challenging. You always have to be \u2018ON\u2019 and that\u2019s difficult for many people. So, this picture of a cat, with Zoom fatigue resonated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-359 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0129\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/2020\/08\/Zoom-fatigue--300x169.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0129\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/2020\/08\/Zoom-fatigue--300x169.gif 300w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0129\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/2020\/08\/Zoom-fatigue--768x432.gif 768w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0129\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/2020\/08\/Zoom-fatigue--1024x576.gif 1024w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0129\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/2020\/08\/Zoom-fatigue--2000x1125.gif 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/169;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Reference<\/p>\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@kochangbok?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Changbok Ko<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/empty-classroom?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the course outline, I\u2019ve structured my post in three subsections with regard to the topic of digital facilitation. 3 thoughts It can be incredibly creative because of its technological affordances, but not always very interactive, unless a facilitator intentionally incorporates this element in their design.
