Description¶

A facilitator can use the toolkit when planning a variety of learning activities for a learning cohort. The strategy is to start activity planning from a set of guiding values and then apply ten transferable tools, including a scheduling survey, activity-planning template, activity flyer template, meeting design template, tools for planning a virtual retreat, and an evaluation form. The tools were developed to support creation of learning activities and a similar learning cohort.
