Although the calibration and information training session went well based on feedback from the team; there are always areas for improvement moving forward. Using Garrison &amp; Anderson\u2019s Community of Inquiry (COI) Model and this lens, I have listed some strategies facilitators can utilize when leading this type of session with this group of learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with a diverse group of learners from various training backgrounds and experiences, it is important to identify a specific issue for the team to focus on while providing some context as some team members may not have any prior experience, knowledge or training. In addition, the facilitator needs to model for the team by sharing personal experiences as the facilitator may have a different perspective from the team based on their role and responsibilities. It is for this reason that the facilitator must indicate to the team that they are a co-learner in the discussion and actively listen to the various perspectives within the team. To close the discussion, I believe that it benefits the team when the main points from the discussion are summarized and disseminated to the team. I have selected these strategies based on the Tour Guide role from Bull\u2019s (2013) article where the tour guide \u201cdirects and redirects the attention of learners toward key concepts and ideas\u201d (para 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To establish a teaching presence, the team needs to know that the facilitator is regularly present online and available to provide support as needed. The facilitator needs to design appropriate activities which engage the team yet allow them to feel supported. For example, an activity to calibrate the team involves ensuring that the dental images used clearly indicate a specific dental condition and allow individual team members to provide their answer anonymously, such as a poll. When a discrepancy occurs, the facilitator needs to provide guidance and lead the team to an agreed upon final conclusion. Boettcher\u2019s (n.d.) article on 10 best practices for teaching online influenced my strategies for teaching presence especially best practice 2: create a supportive online course community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly is social presence, a facilitator needs to communicate set norms and expectations to the team; ensure the team knows the schedule, directions for the activities and have activities which help build the community. Building the community is essential for getting the group to feel safe and supported in order to engage in discussion. This aligns with Vaughan et al. (2013) principle of establishing community and cohesion for social presence. For example, I scheduled time for an elder to open with a prayer and to set our intentions. As well, I had an icebreaker to allow those new to the team to meet and introduce themselves and finally there was an activity to close the session in a good way. The elder returned to close with a prayer and led us in a song which helped to strengthen the bonds of the learning community. These activities instilled a sense of community which was conveyed by the team.  They were surprised at how connected they felt even though they were not physically together.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boettcher, J.
