Assignments Facilitators are appointed by the director based on outstanding recommendations and qualifications.
All facilitators are doctoral-level professionals dedicated to the education of students.
Facilitators are not asked to teach, but rather to facilitate a student's learning based on guidelines and course materials prepared by the course instructor. They preside over the two regional site meetings per course and the weekly chat room sessions. In addition, facilitators provide the course instructor with a portion of the student's evaluation based on the student's attendance and participation, oral presentations, certain projects, etc. Student attendance and participation in the weekly chatroom sessions are mandatory and are monitored by the facilitator using the assigned roster. Facilitator Performance Evaluations Students have the opportunity to evaluate the performance of their assigned facilitator at the conclusion of each course.
