It’s all about humanware.
Connect to the learners in meaningful
ways, but give them space to make their
own connections within the group.

It’s all about Online Presence.
Be there for your learners and with them. In an
online environment, it is essential that the
members of a Community have the feeling of
belonging, of being part of a group.

It’s all about the Facilitator’s Managerial Skills.
Prepare the lesson, give
timely feedback,
encourage knowledge

tech tricks. Put the
pieces together,
connect the dots to
make a “whole-sense”
to learners.

It’s all about being a Catalyst.
Give the necessary support for learners to enhance
their learning self-directedness, to go forward and
beyond, to become community members, to build
knowledge within their learning group.
