Talk:Instructional Skills Workshop Facilitator Portal

There are resources available on a CD given to ISW facilitators as well as in a WebCT Vista Course. Here are the following things, I think we need to pull out:

Vista

• Facilitator Resources

  • Shadowing Guidelines

• Resources by Topic
• Resources for Facilitating Workshops

  • Lesson Plans for the ISW

• Agendas for 3

CD

This portal was created after ISW coordinators and facilitators expressed a desire for a new improved resource cabinet. They said they wanted:

Up-to Date Scholarly Resources on ISW Topics

• easy access to up-to-date articles on ISW topics (for themselves and to refer participants to)
• ISW-related topics broken down by category
• to have "theory" and "practice" resources on ISW topics
• a "review article" or summary on major ISW topics
• reference lists by author

Downloadable ISW Materials

• feedback forms
• handbook (note: this is restricted by copyright)
• lesson plans from other facilitators

Facilitator-Generated Content

• lesson plans and other materials
• tips and tricks from experienced facilitators

Interaction

• contact list of people for role-modeling and observation
