Facilitation

How to design with Facilitation in mind

A key benefit of using Conducttr is that knowledge can be captured in an exercise and it can be run by more junior or less experienced staff. However, to do this you need to provide adequate guidance.

Label MELs and Serials

Ensure that all MELs and Serials have been labelled. Do this by double-clicking on the MEL or Serial tab:

This makes referring to different MELs and Serials much easier.

Add Facilitator guidance to injects

Within each inject is a section called Facilitator guidance. Here you can title injects and add any important information in the text box, as well as attaching PDFs, images and video if necessary.

The "magic icon" on the right of the facilitator guidance box will use AI to summarise the inject content. This is a fast way to tell the facilitator and EXCON team what's going on.

In the example below, the designer has used Facilitator guidance to prompt the Facilitator to manage positions at the beginning of the exercise:

Here's what that Facilitator guidance looks like from the Facilitator's perspective in the Facilitator Dashboard:

Create a Facilitator Position

Creating a Facilitator position allows designers to send specific notifications to the Facilitator throughout the exercise.

Prompt Facilitators with the notification channel

At an EXCON decision point in the exercise, send a notification to the Facilitator position to prompt them to make decisions based on player behaviour and choices.

This might include advice to:

1. start and stop different PoL stax (can be a form of branching)

2. move to a different MEL (can be a form of branching)

3. speed up or slow down the exercise

4. encourage moments of player discussion

These decisions can either be informed by player discussion/engagement or based on data in the Review tab of the Facilitator Dashboard.
