Online Facilitation Charter
This one is rather hard to define. Running a quick search in Google or deeper still, on Google Scholar; has not turned up a definition. In my research, I have found that an 'online facilitation charter' is quite similar to what a project charter should be. In this short piece, I will define the term project charter and apply this meaning to 'online facilitation charter'. I will also provide a sample facilitation charter created for my upcoming webinar.
Having completed a project management course some years ago, I realized that any task worth doing should be approached as a project. Planning a webinar is no different. I first need a basic ‘sketch’ of what my intended project should be. McKeever (2006) describes a project charter as both a quick reference guide and an executive summary of what the project is about, why it is being done, who is involved, roles, responsibilities, and general approach.

The diagram below is a preliminary sketch or concept map of a facilitation charter. This will guide the presenter in developing a more detailed plan of action for the course/webinar.

Hi Camile,
ReplyDeleteI love the theme you used, the colour scheme looks great. I concur that the search for the term was quite the journey. Good job.
Very interesting post Camile. I really like your passion to learn.
