Here is the Link to the Power Point docuemnt I used ( The workshop was in Arabic/English/ Use of ArabicDialect (informality allowed given the nature of the intervention). About 48 participants were online. ATIDA decided to offer the course free for promotional reasons. It was a challenge to manage the online facilitation , due to the massive flow of questions I received. So, on the spot I had to pick up (amongst all this flow ONLY relavant questions). From this, I learnt few things I will avoid when I undertake the same workshop either online or face to face ( in a classroom context). Online facilitation or intervention is different than f2f in terms of learning design, teccher's role and teaching/learning physical environment ( Bricks against the online platform  or LMS (Learning managemnet system).
