Production of education
The educational event production dictionary is divided into five categories: "Documents", "Formats", "Elements", "People", "Equipment".
But let's start with one important, crucial term without categories.
Facilitation is the support of a group process aimed at effective communication, clarification and achievement of set goals. In the facilitation of the educational process, the organization of the educational space, the involvement and promotion of the participants’ potential and the group as a whole, as well as the support of the participants in realizing their educational goals. This is a key point.
For a more detailed immersion in the world of facilitation terms, we recommend looking into the "TOBTO" dictionary from Other Education: link
Documents
Educational program
A document that defines the goals, content and scope of a certain educational event or its cycle. The educational program outlines studying goals, a list of topics that correlate with these goals, and a set of methodical tools. If you are guided by a competency-based approach, then at the beginning of the program you can indicate the competency model you are using and the competencies that the educational event is aimed at developing. Also, the program may contain the venue/platform, timing and description of the facilitator or experts.
Curriculums can be typical (that is, used for a series of training events) or individual (that is customized for one unique event).
Several educational programs formed into one course are called a curriculum. This term is most often used in formal education (in higher education institutions).
