ABSTRACT
Welcome to the Open Facilitator Project…We are a team of open educators passionate about enhancing the learner and facilitator experience in open educational offers of different sizes, small, large or extra large. We feel that facilitator presence and engagement plays a key role in learning. If you have experience facilitating an open course and would like to share and/or reflect on this experience, please consider the following:
