Using the information we looked at in our facilitation module, create a moderate post (150-300 words) for the following topic:

Pick ONE of the following scenarios:


1. Angie has not been participating very regularly in your class. She has not been contributing to forum posts and has been turning in homework late. After a couple of efforts to visit with her without success, she finally approaches you about an extension. She mentioned that it has been very difficult to get on a computer because she has no access at home and can't stay too late at school. While normally this would be something that you would emphasize with, you are having some doubts as the records show she has accessed it late at night.

What would you say to her?

2. Sarah and Brian are in a group together for a project. Sarah is very conscious about her grade in the class and is desperately trying to get the group project finished. However, each participant must contribute, and as of yet, Brian has not contributed. She has complained to you about Brian's lack of effort.

Brian, on the other hand, mentions that the last group project did not work out well at all. Every suggestion that he had, Sarah basically turned down. Sarah ended up doing her own work anyways. Brian feels as though he can't make a contribution to the group.

What would you say to Brian and Sarah?

3. With your class of adult students, Caleb has been very open on different forums. However, he has told some personal stories where he has made some derogatory references to women. He seems unaware that they are derogatory, but while other participants have not said anything directly to you, you notice a sudden end to the discussion thread every time he contributes.

What would you say to him?
