The programme involves 4-6 hours per week engaged in a mix of reading, peer work and group discussion. There are no fixed times for particular sessions, however there will be some tasks to complete by the end of each week. Much of the programme is asynchronous (different-time). We will be using different tools such as email, an online forum, Skype, video conferencing, blogging and Second Life (www.secondlife.com). During the programme we will do some real-time conferencing that will be at fixed times. These times will be negotiated with the group to allow as many people as possible to participate.
Course content and approach
The programme provides a person-centred framework (philosophy and methodology) and experiential skills training in online facilitation. This includes the Zenergy model of group facilitation and a framework for generating alignment and co-creation with groups and teams. The approach taken is hands-on and highly experiential. Over the 10 weeks participants are coached and receive feedback from Zenergy's experienced programme leaders, and the other participants, as they facilitate the group.
Expected outcomes
Identifying the unique aspects of facilitating online groups
Applying the Zenergy person-centered approach online
Exploration and application of a range of facilitation processes
Exploring the use of online text-based, audio and video tools
Required reading
Participants of this programme will be given access to relevant chapters in the new edition of The Art of Facilitation by Dr. Dale Hunter published by Random House NZ, 2007.
