S ome interesting online exercises for trainers and facilitators - for inspiration Ask people to share an image online on a topic before an online meeting (for instance in a padlet or boardthing ). Videos are also powerful. During the meeting you can invite people to group the images and invite a conversation about it.

At the end of the exercise you can summarize the whole story of even read it and post it as an audio file or a video.

After this introduction, we did a line-up exercise with the participants who were asked to what extent they consider themselves "new learners". Interesting points in this discussion were: There is quite some confusion about the term 'new learning'.

The course was very disappointing because they were four online lectures, no exercises and no possibility to ask questions. Another experience: I wanted to learn social network analyse (SNA). My first step was to follow an e-learning course.

In fact, this exercise also gives you a sense of whether the design group has sufficient knowledge of the target group. I have experienced that some people will make a caricature of the persona, especially if they have a difficult relationship with the group the persona represents. Try to ask for positive aspects.

I used to jump on the bike to get a breath of fresh air and exercise. And a very practical tip: make sure you can go offline for a short while after the sessions. Online sessions remain intense and demand a lot of energy.

Ofcourse you may tweek this exercise to suit another question. Image search Ask people to search through Google images or through a photo site like Flickr for an image that represents their expectations from the course. What will they gain through the workshop? It may lead to creative visualisation of the expectations.

I thought a learning style test was a nice ramp up for an exercise where people had to blog about their own facilitator style - from the idea that it is good to know your own preferences and biases as a trainer/facilitator. I went looking for a learning style test for an online course.

I made it into a sort of exercise in online facilitation for myself, designing and online-teleconference-online sequence. I guess an analyisis of inbound trajectories whereby people move from lurking to being active or core members are key to seeing whether lurking is healthy. What did I learn about online facilitation?

Last week I was part of a polling exercise which used small devices and a laser reader. That brings me to the next point Make sure you are not sidelining people through your choice of social media Don't use media because they are cool to use. Everyone had a polling device, I thought it was brilliant.

You can also ask the participants to find an example themselves as a warm-up exercise. Use some of these blurry pictures as a warm-up exercise, having the participants say what they think it is. This is a good exercise if you want to teach people to switch breakouts themselves. This person is then the new tagger.
