In these two weeks you will focus on the event that you are facilitating as part of the course mini conference. The idea is for you to organise something for the conference, such as a guest speaker or a discussion panel through webconference; a discussion forum on a social networking platform; or assisting with the preparation and promotion of the mini conference generally. This will be your chance to facilitate real events online, and to experience the dimensions to facilitation online. - Identify a topic of interest expressed by participants in this course.
- Create a title for the event.
- Develop an aim for the event.
- Arrange for a guest speaker, panel or other online activity.
- Negotiate with the guest speaker/s, arrange times and locations.
- Coordinate your session with the course facilitator and other students in the course wiki.
- Promote the event in your blog, on the course wiki and with your online and face-to-face contacts and networks
- Develop a contact list
- Create a flier
- Describe what technical support services you will need to make use of
- Develop a contingency plan for technical problems, poor or over attendance, and other disruptions
