Facilitating in Digital Environments
Three thoughts…
- I imagine if we looked at the google searches for this particular concept, the numbers would be drastically different in April 2019, then in April 2020 and beyond.
- I also believe facilitating and teaching have two different meanings, but often get used as synonyms.
- My final thought on facilitating in digital environments for the purpose of this post is a confession; if you’d had asked me 5 years ago if I want to participate in online learning, I would have said no.
Two(ish) Questions…

- What are some telltale signs that my facilitating is missing the mark?
- How scripted is good facilitation? Or Can ad lib/spontaneous facilitation work well?
One Metaphor…
Digital facilitation is like cooking a meal from scratch; the ingredients should be fresh and following a recipe can be helpful. However, trying different ingredients and new proportions can lead to newly discovered favourites!
