1. What is Your Role as a Facilitator?
As a facilitator, you are not delivering the clinical session, you are enabling learning from it.
Your role is to:
Guide learners’ attention during the session
Encourage interaction between learners and the clinician
Lead reflection after the session
Key principle: Your role is to support learning, not to run the session.
2. Before Your First Session
Step 1 — Register on the Platform
Go to www.virtualce.app
Click “Register as attendee”
Enter your details and create a password
Confirm your account via email
Step 2 — Complete the Professionalism Course
Before joining your first session:
Log in to your dashboard
Click on “Professionalism Course”
Complete the course
This ensures safe and appropriate use of the platform.
Step 3 — Check Your Technical Setup
To ensure a smooth experience:
Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge
Ensure you have:
A working camera
A stable internet connection
You can test your setup by clicking:
“Check Platform Requirements” on your dashboard
3. Preparing for Your Session
Before each session, make sure:
You understand the learning objectives
You are familiar with the session structure
The student group is set up in one room (if applicable)
You can join the session without technical issues
Join the session 5–10 minutes early to check everything is working.
4. During the Session
Your role is to guide engagement and learning.
Encourage Active Participation
Ask learners what they think is happening
Prompt them to explain decisions
Invite different perspectives
Support Interaction
Relay questions to the clinician
Where possible, allow learners to speak directly to the clinician
Best practice: Move from facilitator-led questions → learner-led interaction
Ask Effective Questions
Use prompts such as:
“What would you do next?”
“Do you agree with that decision?”
“What are the risks here?”
5. After the Session
Lead a short reflection to consolidate learning.
Use this simple structure:
One thing done well
One decision you would question
One thing you would do differently
Then:
Link back to the learning objectives
Highlight key takeaways
6. Common Tips for Success
Keep learners actively involved, not just observing
Don’t try to explain everything let learners think first
Focus on decision-making, not just actions
Create a safe space for discussion and uncertainty
