							                                        Michigan EPFP Learning Team Flowchart
It is the program’s expectation that all fellows will participate as a member of a learning team. And, that each learning team member
will engage the entire fellowship cohort in a Learning Team Presentation (presentations will be scheduled into one of five open dates).
Fellows in the past have suggested that a single large idea could serve as an “umbrella” organizer for all subsequent components of a
presentation. This would also serve as a way of developing a meaningful product that could serve other purposes. Based on our
previous experience with the learning team concept, we offer the following flowchart as a guide to aide you in your discussions
concerning the topic and logistical steps to take.


  1. SELECTING A TOPIC: Is the                            2. ORGANIZING: Are there                             3. FORMAT: How & what
  topic significant enough to                             enough fellows interested in                         should you present? Should
  develop? Is there common ground                         this topic? How will you                             you have a panel? A
  around the topic? Is the topic too                      organize the work? Who will                          speaker? What about
  narrow; not enough to interest a                        develop an outline of the                            handouts? Will there be an
  broader audience? What’s the key                        presentation? How will you                           activity? Video and/or
  concept to be developed: Is there a                     communicate and on what                              PPT? Will you need AV
  model or set of assumptions that                        frequency? What are the                              equipment? Who will

  Does this topic “light my fire?”                        can do what? What roles will                         Who will develop the Web
  What’s the learning? Are there                          individual members have for                          posting to give advance
  sufficient resources available to                       developing & presenting?                             information to the cohort?
  develop the topic?                                                                                           Will there be a Q&A?
