Intel Teach Elements: Facilitation

Are you looking for free course content that you can integrate into your online or face-to-face professional development program? Intel® Teach now provides free content to facilitate the Intel® Teach Elements: Project-Based Approaches course in face-to-face or online formats.

The facilitation materials promote a deeper experience for teachers as they work through the e-learning modules of the course. With small group discussions and sharing of ideas in action plans, a facilitated experience builds professional learning communities around project-based learning.

• The facilitation content is flexible with several optional activities. You can modify or add your own activities.
• Course format is a local design decision. You may deliver a facilitated course from fully face-to-face, fully online, or as a hybrid that incorporates both face-to-face and online delivery.
• The length of a facilitated course is flexible and determined by your program needs. While the total facilitation content covers 8 hours, there are sample schedules the facilitator may choose to follow or adapt.
• You are permitted to use this content and charge reasonable fees for delivering your course, with the understanding that teachers will receive continuing education credit, based on local requirements.
• Upon completion of a course, Intel asks that you report the number of teachers.

Intel provides two options for facilitation materials, determined by your course delivery design:

• Intel provides a Facilitation Guide (PDF): you will access the e-learning course or order free CDs at www.intel.com/education/elements
  This option is available to education agencies and individuals. Intel provides a print-ready guide that includes general facilitation strategies along with prompts for discussions, small group work, and sharing.

• Intel provides materials for hosting in your Web environment
  This option is available to education agencies that offer professional development to K-12 teachers. With this option, you integrate a facilitated course into your Learning Management System or host in your education portal. Intel provides a location to download the e-learning course files and facilitation scripts. Intel also provides a link to a sample online course as an example to support the adaptation of the course on your own platform. Intel will not provide technical support with this option: you are responsible for loading, hosting, and maintaining the course. Following a simple application and approval process, Intel will grant a two-year, renewable and royalty-free license for use of the facilitation materials and e-learning content.
