We are pleased to announce the launch of the Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) Facilitation Guide authored by experienced FLO facilitators Gina Bennett, Beth Cougler Blom, Sylvia Currie, and Sylvia Riessner. This guide is a companion resource for the five Facilitating Learning Online courses and a valuable addition to the resources designed to help with the FLO adoption process.

This guide will benefit individuals facilitating FLO courses as well as any course that emphasizes facilitating in a community of learners and supporting collaboration and reflective practice. It is presented with a consistent structure for each FLO course, making it easy to zone in on exactly what is relevant.

Over the next 12 months, the guide will be used by co-facilitators in each FLO course. Through this process, we will identify areas that need improving. If your institution/organization is implementing a FLO course this year, we welcome feedback!

The FLO Facilitation Guide, along with all FLO courses, is available for browsing, copying, adapting, or downloading and licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Licence.
