- INTERACTIVE VIDEO CONFERENCING (IVC)
- Facilitator
What is a facilitator?
Facilitators make a critical difference in the level of student and
staff involvement and success. In cases of direct instruction courses, the teacher at the
originating site depends on facilitators to recognize and report the level of student
involvement and to assist students in maintaining active participation. Facilitators must
also be familiar with the functioning of hardware to ensure satisfactory program
transmission during instructional hours. In the case of staff development courses, the
facilitator is needed to introduce staff members to the use of equipment and encourage
active participation. The facilitator should also be present during the staff development
courses or any other video conferences in which a site participates.
What Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities should a facilitator have?
- Ability to operate and troubleshoot hardware and software
- Organizational skills
- Classroom management skills
- Effective communication and interpersonal skills
