Participant Facilitator/Notetaker Roles and Responsibilities

Each participant participating in this FMN will choose a week to be a “participant facilitator” and/or a "participant note taker."

Participant facilitators are responsible for reading any forum posts associated with the meeting topic prior to the meeting and collecting questions and responses, for preparing thoughts and comments related to the reading and forum posts for the week’s meeting, and for helping the FMN leader facilitate the weekly topic by prompting discussion.

Participant note takers are responsible for keeping a record of the meeting's discussion, and summarizing and synthesizing the key ideas or themes that are brought up. Either while taking notes or after the discussion, this person will also put helpful links into the notes document of any resources that were discussed. These notes will be indispensable to all the participants as a running record throughout the FMN.
