think it is important to know the ins- and outs of the various tools as a facilitator, plus the group process, so that you know how to stimulate certain processes by introducing tools that energize the group. Martin Kloos wrote his thesis for the University of Amsterdam on communities of practice 2.0 . It's written in English, so if you are interested, you can download it and read it too.

Recently I blogged about a facilitation taxonomy developed by Halbana Tarmizi en Gert-Jan de Vreede, you can find the article here . Through a comment on a blogpost somewhere I found a follow-up on that article called challenges for facilitation in communities of practice written by the same authors, in collaboration with Ilze Zigurs. For this study they formulated two research questions: What are the most difficult tasks in CoP facilitation? What are the most important tasks in CoP facilitation? Knowing the most difficult tasks would help facilitators

Joost Oorthuizen from Agri-profocus , an organisation working for strengthening of agricultural producers organisations in the south (in the picture a producers organisation with melons) organised a so-called Dgroup e-conference during the months of October and November 2006. guess the main reason is that they do not know Agriterra very well, nor can they fully appreciate the need for an organisation like Agri-ProFocus. You are an experienced face-to-face facilitator, and this is your first online experience. The e-conference discussed the possibilities and constraints of future co-operation between two Dutch development organisations, i.e.

As a facilitator, try to be online 10 minutes earlier and have all skype addresses in advance, so that you can easily add everyone to the chatspace. The facilitator could try the following:”mute all participated and unmute them one by one, to see where some noise was coming from. Using supporting tools. larger group requires much more structure and facilitation. When you don’t know how to ride a bike, walking is always faster! An online conference call seems like a simple, cheap and accessible way for bringing a distributed group together. As we use our e-collaboration community

The manager could both guide and facilitate the community from time to time rather than only support it. Of late, I have printed more articles than I can read, so maybe I should stop printing them... But I have read one article written by Joeri an Laere called Managing communities of practice in organizations . I

It was in “helping” “save” the community after Howard lost funding that I had my first big online facilitation failure. It was my urgency to figure this out that set me on my professional path as a practitioner and learner about online facilitation. This was where I had the amazing opportunity to co-facilitate an online workshop with Mihaela Moussou (now Michele Paradise). This afternoon I’m spending a half hour on a Skype video conversation to share a bit of how I use social media. I

Teamspeak seems to work better at low bandwidth than Skype, although the quality of the sound can be reduced. The next interview took place at July 3, 2006 with Dorine Ruter from ETC. Meeting at a distance “Over a year ago the programme committee of RUAF (Resource Centres for Urban Agriculture and Food Security - www.ruaf.org) came to me with the question whether I knew a tool that would make it possible to conduct a meeting over the internet. It can come in handy if somebody, who’s not taking part in the meeting itself, is around for technical assistance, so the meeting
