Abstract:
The Online Facilitator Development Workshop (OFDW) is an 8-week intensive workshop intended for individuals who have completed the Online Instructional Skills Workshop (OISW) and who wish to become OISW facilitators. The workshop provides individuals with an online opportunity for professional development in a challenging and supportive atmosphere. The OFDW emphasizes the four cornerstones of the OISW - peer-based development, learner-focused instruction, experiential learning, and reflective practice - as envisioned by Douglas Kerr (2014) and developed by the ISW Community (Instructional Skills Workshop Network Executive, 2021).
