ATTENDANCE

We fielded questions from new organizers with the help of previous organizers.
Q; How much of the course content has to be based on P2PU.org? Can I base learning materials (host) elsewhere?
A: It's good to have your course materials in one place (course pages), however if you host outside materials must be freely accessable and in an open space
Q: Does P2PU have a wiki
A: wiki.p2pu.org it's not hosted within p2pu.org --> PBwiki outside. put clear links to wiki work on the p2pu.org course page

Q: I have a question about people who might monopolize the conversation. I have a guy who signed up for my class and he's such a talker, I know him in real life, but I suspect that in a "chat" environment he will be manageable
Q: All course members register at p2pu, right?
Q:Can I ask any of you previous facilitators what was the most fun and most exciting element of some of your courses, things that surprised you in a good way?

? Dilemmas in Facilitating Online w/ Tony Carr
time: THURS Sept 2nd @ 12 Noon EST / 9 am PDT
location: http://www.tokbox.com/conf/tvhydepe9jbe1uvp

We will be discussing "Deepening Connections"
(http://wiki.p2pu.org/facilitating-dilemmas)

ATTENDEES:



Background Task: Imagine that you are a course leader. You have sent an email to a few participants who have been very quiet for  several days. One participant responds by saying:

Last week I participated in the discussion on the different online technologies, but I received almost no responses to  the contributions I made. It felt like the other participants and the facilitator were talking over me and only with each  other. I know I possibly know the least about the topic, but I really hate feeling excluded and am wondering if I want to  continue with the course.

Think about your reply to this email and how you would solve the  problem. Are there wider implications for how we can sustain and deepen connection and trust within our learning community?
