Every participant learns in a different way and we have to give everybody the possibility to learn as much as possible. At the same time, it is very important to stay authentic as a facilitator. If you do not feel comfortable with a method, then it’s better not to use it. Working on content in a holistic way means not only addressing different learning preferences but also creating learning experiences that are close to real life. The following approaches and methods support you in managing this kind of learner-centered learning process.
Moderation
Moderation means to shape a common learning or discussion process. A moderator offers methods and guides the process.
Presentation & Visual Facilitation
The section includes methods for vizualization and presentation.
Energizers & Cool-Downs
Energizers and cool-downs help learners to refocus attention, to return to the learning process, and to reconnect to the group.
Big group methods
Approaches for facilitating processes with bigger groups of participants.
