Welcome to NZ001T05 Facilitator Training (Session 1)

Hello participants and welcome to this course.

I'm Matt Cornock, Online CPD Coordinator at STEM Learning and I will be your facilitator for this course.  If you have not already, I recommend updating your preferences in the Course Group to receive email notifications immediately.

Our first and only session for this course will be a facilitator-led session using Adobe Connect. Please ensure you have downloaded the Adobe Connect application (Windows/Mac or mobile app) well in advance of the session. Please do refer to the Participant Guide for Adobe Connect which is posted in the Course Group, as this has the recommended way of using Adobe Connect.

The link to Adobe Connect for this course is in your joining instructions email and on the Course Group page.

The session starts promptly at 3pm on Thursday (23 April), but you can access Adobe Connect ten minutes beforehand to make sure you're all set up and ready to go.

By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Describe the structure of remote delivered CPD.
• Set up participant tasks on a course group.
• Use Adobe Connect to deliver facilitator-led sessions.
• Apply effective remote facilitation techniques.

Key supporting materials (for facilitating your own CPD):

• Adobe Connect Facilitator Full Guide
• Adobe Connect Facilitator Quick Guide
• Facilitator guidance videos: all Adobe Connect features, example delivery and how to set up Google Docs and Google Forms from PDEs.
• Slides for this training session are attached to this post.

You will only need to refer to the part of the full guidance and videos for the types of activity in the PDE you will be delivering. 

I look forward to seeing you online.

Matt
