Moderation means to shape a common learning or discussion process. A moderator offers methods and guides the process. Typical questions for moderating are: How to give participants enough space, while ensuring that the goal of the unit is fulfilled? How to prevent stigmatization of minorities? What to do that collective decisions are seen as fair by any participant? How to deal with conflicting needs in a group and how to help to negotiate them?

It may seem you have spent a lot of time doing other things before working on the “real content,” but all those steps are necessary elements that enable you and your participants to create a good learning experience. While working on the content, it is important to provide the participants with a lot of different learning opportunities and use a mixed style of methods.

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.



Presentation & Visual Facilitation

The section includes methods for vizualization and presentation.


Energizers & Cool-Downs
