Since this event in late 2007, I have initiated and facilitated similar events. Over the years, I maintain a belief that such a platform can explore in corporeal public space what you, I, them and we are watching or find interesting online; opening up discussions related to online media, copy and remix culture; but also in the process, create space for different groups to meet, reflect and encounter each other.

The real difficulty for community facilitators is that this dynamic, changeable, but silent lurking makes it hard to measure the actual "health" of the community as a whole. Fabulous post/reflection, Andrew, which highlights the important nuances and power of lurking!

Andrew Rixon shared this quote with facilitators in response to a discussion about the failure of action planning.
“The goal for wu wei is to get out of your own way, so to speak. As a facilitator I get in my own way when I delude myself that I can control what’s happening. This week I’ve been facilitating a workshop with aid workers who have been working with communities This is like when you are playing an instrument and if you start thinking about playing the instrument, then you will get in your own way and interfere with your own playing. It is aimless action,

My topic is “Online Facilitation 13 Years On: What We Learned and What Do We Need to Learn?” So I’m wondering, what is YOUR history of online facilitation? The fabulous ScOPE online community asked these sorts of questions in a 2007 online event facilitated by my friend Nick Noakes , and it was fun to go back and reread them. (Link In just over a week I’ll be in Ft. Worth, Texas, opening Monday’s session of the Elearning 2010 Conference .

Over the past few years, I have enjoyed watching Otto Scharmer’s practice develop as he moves between the world of high level systems thinking and grounded facilitation practice. The At the past two Art of Hosting trainings (Bowen Island in September, and Springfield, IL earlier this week) we used that practice to reflect and ground the experience of the Art of Hosting and to set up a way of diving into what comes next, as a way of leaving the deep space of learning together and re-entering the world.
The first book he helped write, Presence, was a lovely distillation of his reasearch and I have been working a lot with his new book, Theory U, with its grounding in practice, to work with networks and communities who are trying to access the source of their collective futures.

Graphic Facilitation Workshops
Beyond doing graphic recording myself , I offer two kinds of workshops on the practice of graphic recording and facilitation. One focuses on the use of visuals associated with specific facilitation techniques and group processes, and the other is a simple, hands on introduction to graphic recording, also known as “I CAN DRAW.” Using Well, I guess it is time to walk my talk and declare I CAN DRAW. After doing it on the side, teaching it to others, I realized it was time to declare this part of my practice on my website.

Then, going to learning professionals, I think there’s an additional level that is community / network facilitation. As learning increasingly happens through communities and networks, learning professionals need to be able to facilitate this.
But I do think facilitation is a key knowledge workers skill in the network era, so for the sake of this post, I’ll treat the two the same but recognize that is oversimplification. It is hard to let some Tony Karrer disappointment persist. After posting my 4 Meta Skills for Learning Professionals in response to Tony’s

When I was asked to facilitate a discussion on reflective learning and weblogs at the workshop on Informal learning and the use of social software in veterinary medicine I hesitated: while reflective learning is part of my practice, at the moment I’m far from the theories about it or from facilitating reflective learning in educational settings. Well, at the end it worked – we didn’t go that far into the reflective learning itself, but talked about uses of weblogs for learning of students and practitioners.
[This post was in drafts for a while; posted on the actual date of the workshop, so the participants can find it.]

As promised earlier , here is my reflection of the keynote I did at the Instructional Technology Council’s annual gathering on February 22nd. The topic was “Online Facilitation: 14 years on. Below I’ll share first, my reflections on the session, then links to all the session artifacts.

It has been a while since I wrote about synchronous online facilitation is a focused way. Facilitate!: She is an active online event designer, facilitator and technology steward. Encourage facilitative practices from everyone, not just the facilitator.
Alan Levine wrote a deliciously provocative post on last month that I’ve been meaning to comment upon, Five Ways to Run a Deadly Online Seminar . When I read it, my head was bobbing in agreement and recommendations.

Community Leadership and Facilitation
A subset is online community management but I’ll confess to placing more emphasis both on facilitating vs managing and servant leadership vs top-down leadership. These are seated in well known group facilitation theory and practices with the additional needs of an online environment. It has become clear. I’m long-winded on the topic of new skills for knowledge workers and learning professionals, even if I don’t quite understand what a learning professional is.

As a facilitator, I am often accused of abusing political correctness, or even of being a Pollyanna. often think of these admonitions as reactions reflecting past negative experiences of something. “I was frustrated that the sessions I was to facilitate were labeled as “discussions” - faint cover for “traditional panel sessions,” and that I was assigned a technical session I knew little about. (I wrote this in January - never finished, nor published it. I’m cleaning out some blog drafts and it felt worthwhile to try and tidy this one up
