- 32. Breath Cycle ofLearning There is a natural “in & out” cycle in team work We have a similar “in & out” cycle in how we teach Intensives are the peak of our inward, same-time, same-place interactivity Between intensives we breath outward and use Elluminate (same- time different-place) and The Channel (same-time different-place)

- 44. The Syllabus &Agenda Before each Elluminate I require a selection of pre-readings, slidecasts, videos, or short assignments Ideally I should say something about WHY each selection is important — For instance, I add Keyquotes to readings
- 47. Cooperative Learning: Students Workingin Small Groups KEYQUOTE: “Collaborative group work requires careful planning on the part of the instructor, and is not without its difficulties for students. But the benefits can be substantial, including increased participation by students in all components of the course, better PDF: Stanford Center for Teaching & understanding and retention of material, Learning (Winter 2009). Speaking of mastery of skills essential to success in Teaching - Stanford University the course or in a career, and increased (Retrieved from http:// enthusiasm for self-directed learning— www.stanford.edu/dept/CTL/ the kind of enthusiasm that can spur Newsletter/cooperative.pdf ) students on to independent research or honors projects.”
- 48. Pre-Elluminate Readings Shouldbe about ~1 hour, something that students can do easily I also ask participants to post some first thoughts During the session I will randomly ask a participant to summarize their thoughts on one of the advance readings I will also quote useful first thoughts You can also offer optional material for advanced students
- 49. More Context Needed “Inperson facilitation is something I'm interested in, but I hadn't given any thought to online facilitation. The post outlining ways to get involved in online facilitation was interesting. More context might help me understand this topic. What are some examples of online facilitation in Bria personal and professional settings? It might just be Schlottman that it's late and end of quarter, but my mind keeps going back to facilitating team meetings on skype, which seems different than what was discussed in the videos.”
- 50. Pre-Elluminate Readings Forsome topics there are too many advance readings I will sometimes ask for a post about the optional readings in a forum Better, I ask participants to each choose one and prepare a single slide I ask the participants to be ready to guide the discussion when their slide comes up
