Introduction Facilitator approaches depend on the nature of the group or community. In this lesson you will find a description of the roles and responsibilities of a facilitator in managing different types of online discussions. You will also be introduced to the support tasks required of a facilitator. Roles and responsibilities of the facilitator A key element in deciding the roles and responsibilities of an online facilitator is the type of discussion taking place in the community. • for the duration of the event, the facilitator has to energize the community into a more organized and focused discussion; when guests are invited, they need to be introduced and given a role in the discussion. • is limited to animating and regulating the discussion and making sure that the technology works smoothly in the background; ROLE OF FACILITATOR TYPE OF DISCUSSION • since the discussion follows an agenda and will result in specific outcomes, the facilitator is more actively involved in regulating, focusing and animating, because of the time limitation; time-limited within a discussion without time limitation For different kinds of discussions there are different roles for a facilitator… A facilitator sometimes also act as a moderator. time-limited without time limitations Example Would you like to know more about moderation? See Annex 5.4.1 for a mini-lesson on this topic Tasks of the facilitator Whatever the type of discussion taking place in the online space, as an online facilitator you are responsible for certain tasks, which can be divided into two categories… 1) preparing for and organizing the discussion; 2) dealing with technical problems; and 3) closing your discussion space and follow up. Support tasks deal with technical support, subscriptions, bounces, vacation messages, attachments. They are the following: 1) maintaining focus; 2) building trust; 3) encouraging participation; and 4) dealing with conflict. Facilitation tasks deal with regulation of the discussion, creation of an encouraging environment, mediation. They are the following: These tasks will be explored further in the unit. On the next pages you’ll explore what the support tasks are about. Tasks of the facilitator Let’s start to examine the support tasks using a case study: Imagine you are called to facilitate a three week online/learning discussion event about portals, organized by The Association for Progressive Communication (APC). The discussion has been announced in other related online communities, while experts have been invited to prepare online presentations. What should you do? Let’s look at this together… Organizing discussion The first task of the online facilitator is preparing and organizing the online discussion. This phase can decide the success of your online Unit 1: FAMILY LIFE Lesson 7: Communication And Culture Teacher: Nguyen Trung Phong I COMMUNICATION Discussion Who does what in your family?

Online Facilitation - 7. Managing membership and roles - page 2 At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: • understand the place of membership management in the life cycle of an online community; • identify membership management strategies for an online community; and • recognize change in membership of an online community over time. Objectives Online communities may come together for a short, defined period to achieve specific objectives (short-term communities). In this case, the “life cycle” will largely mirror the agenda set for the discussion or meeting. Life cycle of online communities In order to manage community membership effectively, it is important to be aware of the life cycle of online communities, and how the group of members may change during this cycle. Unlike short-term meetings or discussions, ongoing online communities do not have a structured “agenda”. However, there are some common stages in the life of online communities that influence membership management. Short term communities generally have the same, or static, membership, while long term communities can have either static or dynamic memberships. We’ll look at the differences in the next few screens. 5. Online Facilitation - 7. Managing membership and roles - page 3 Stages of an online community There are some common stages in the life of an online community. Each stage has consequences for managing membership. 1) Conception: Someone has an idea for a new online community. Community focus, purpose, target audience, and technical choices need to be defined. 2) Beginning: The community is new, members begin to join. Discussions should be enriched and updated often to motivate people to participate. 3) Growth: The community grows in numbers and/or in content and quality. 4) Maturity: The membership of the community is relatively stable. Members are active, interaction is dynamic, and there is a feeling of community among members. Technologies and discussions may evolve. Evaluation and keeping members interested is still important. 5) Transition: There are substantial changes in leadership, or purpose, or characteristics of the community. Subgroups may emerge; this can be a healthy sign. If there are signs of decline, ask if the community is still meeting its goals. Consider how to re-energize the community, or whether an exit strategy is needed. 6) Death: There comes a point when there is no more significant activity in a community. Although people are still subscribed, their interest has shifted to other topics or other online spaces. Perhaps the community has served its purpose, or resources for administration are no longer available. This is a big decision, but it may be time to close the community. Death of an online community may spark creation of other communities: conception begins, and the cycle continues. Stages of an online community There are some common stages in the life of an online community. Each stage Microsoft Vietnam – DPE Team | WPF – Bài 7: Kiểu hiển thị (Style) và khuôn mẫu (Template) 1 Bài 7 Kiểu hiển thị (Style) và Khuôn mẫu (Template) WPF giới thiệu hai khái niệm là Kiểu hiển thị (Style) và Khuôn mẫu (Template) cho phép xây dựng các mẫu thuộc tính hiển thị áp dụng chung cho nhiều đối tượng UI trên giao diện người dùng. Bài giảng này tập trung giới thiệu hai khái niệm này và cách sử dụng chúng thông qua các ví dụ cụ thể. 1. Giới thiệu về Kiểu hiển thị (Style) Thông thường, khi xây dựng một giao diện đồ hoạ, ta thường thiết lập cùng giá trị các thuộc tính hiển thị trên nhiều đối tượng UI khác nhau. Ví dụ, bạn muốn đặt tất cả các tiêu đề (Label) trong ứng dụng với phông chữ “Times New Roman”, cỡ 14px, in đậm. Điều này có thể thực hiện dễ dàng với CSS trong một ứng dụng Web, nhưng không đơn giản đối với WinForm. WPF nhận ra sự cần thiết này và giải quyết bằng việc đưa ra thành phần „Style‟. Thành phần „Style‟ cho phép người lập trình lưu trữ một danh sách các giá trị thuộc tính vào một nơi thuận tiện. Nó tương tự như cách làm việc của CSS trong các ứng dụng Web. Thông thường, các Style được lưu trữ trong phần Resource hoặc một thư mục Resource riêng của project. Các thuộc tính quan trọng nhất của thành phần Style bao gồm BasedOn, TargetType, Setters và Triggers. Được xem như một loại tài nguyên, Style có thể được định nghĩa ở bất kỳ phân cấp nào trong cây trực quan, ví dụ cho một StackPanel, Window hoặc thậm chí ở mức Application. Việc đặt khai báo Style lẫn với các mã chức năng XAML thường dễ gây nhầm lẫn khi mở rộng ứng dụng. Lời khuyên ở đây là không đặt khai báo Style trong App.xaml hay các file chức năng xaml, mà lưu chúng trong một file xaml tài nguyên riêng. Lưu ý rằng các tài nguyên có thể được chia nhỏ thành các file độc lập sao cho các file ảnh như jpeg có thể được lưu trữ riêng rẽ. Một khi đã chia thành các file tài nguyên riêng thì vấn đề tiếp theo sẽ là việc làm sao để tìm tham chiếu tới tài nguyên bạn cần. Ở đây, ta dùng một giá trị khoá duy nhất: Khi định nghĩa một tài nguyên trong XAML, bạn định nghĩa một giá trị khoá duy nhất cho tài nguyên đó thông qua thuộc tính x:Key. Kể từ sau đó, bạn có thể tham chiếu tới tài nguyên này bằng việc sử dụng giá trị này. Sau đây, các thuộc tính quan trọng trong Style sẽ được lần lượt giới thiệu. Microsoft Vietnam – DPE Team | WPF – Bài 7: Kiểu hiển thị (Style) và khuôn mẫu (Template) 2 1.1. Các thành phần thuộc tính trong Style 1.1.1 BasedOn Thuộc tính này giống như tính chất kế thừa, trong đó, một Style kế thừa thuộc tính chung của một Style khác. Mỗi kiểu hiện thị chỉ hỗ trợ một giá trị BaseOn. Sau đây là một ví dụ nhỏ: <! Khai báo Style được kế thừa > <Style x:Key="Style1"> </Style> <! Khai báo Style kế thừa > <Style x:Key="Style2" BasedOn="{StaticResource Style1}"> </Style> 1.1.2 TargetType Thuộc tính TargetType được sử dụng để giới hạn loại điều khiển nào được sử dụng Style đó. Ví dụ nếu ta có một Style với thuộc tính TargetType thiết lập cho nút bấm (Button), thì Style này sẽ không thể áp dụng cho kiểu điều khiển TextBox. Cách thiết lập thuộc tính này minh họa trong ví dụ sau: <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> </Style> 1.1.3 Setters Setters cho phép thiết lập một sự kiện hay một thuộc tính với một giá trị nào đó. Trong trường hợp thiết lập một sự kiện, chúng liên kết với một sự kiện và kích hoạt hàm xử lý tương ứng. Trong trường hợp thiết lập một thuộc tính, chúng đặt giá trị cho thuộc tính đó. Sau đây là một ví dụ về việc sử dụng EventSetters để liên kết sự kiện, trong đó, sự kiện nhắm chuột vào nút bấm (Click) được liên kết: Microsoft Vietnam – DPE Team | WPF – Bài 7: Kiểu hiển thị (Style) và khuôn mẫu (Template) 3 <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> <EventSetter Event="Click" Handler="b1SetColor"/> </Style> Tuy nhiên, Setter thường được dùng để 12NC Unit 8: FUTURE LIFE Teacher: Huỳnh Hữu Nghóa Period: 59 + 60 Lesson : READING Aim: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to get the main ideas of the lesson and some information about future life.
