Group Formats
In response to COVID-19 concerns, we will be offering three different formats for groups:
Online Group -- For those with computer access to FORMED.org and who prefer on-line discussions
Hybrid Group -- For those with computer access to FORMED.org and prefer in-person discussions
In Person Group -- For those without computer access
In response to COVID-19 concerns, we will be offering three different formats for groups:
Online Group -- For those with computer access to FORMED.org and who prefer on-line discussions
- Watch the video on your own on-line ahead of the discussion
- Have weekly small group discussion via a ZOOM meeting. This avoids in-person contact for those more concerned about the COVID-19 virus.
- Requires a leader who will run the discussion using ZOOM.
Hybrid Group -- For those with computer access to FORMED.org and prefer in-person discussions
- Watch the video on your own on-line
- Have weekly small group discussion in-person at someone’s home or in a classroom
- This is for those who prefer the more personal interface of an in-person meeting
- Requires leader who has computer with internet access and can run the display.
In Person Group -- For those without computer access
- Join an in-person group in a home or classroom, if there is one
- Watch video together as a group
- Have in-person discussion right in the small group
- Requires leader who has computer with internet access and can run the display.
