    EVENT DETAILS

    Last month was facilitation tips for in-person training, so now it's time to talk about facilitation tips for virtual training!

    (And just to make sure we are on the same page...virtual training or virtual instructor-led training is a real-time, instructor-led learning experience conducted entirely online through video conferencing or other collaboration tools.)

    But wait? Don't facilitators apply the same techniques for virtual training that they use for in-person facilitation? 

    While the basics of facilitation are the same for both audiences, speakers facilitating to a virtual audience (via Zoom or similar platform) have a whole list of other things to consider such as:

    • Understanding how to use the presentation platform
    • How to interact with virtual attendees in a way that is authentic and engaging
    • The need for a co-facilitator or person to monitor the chat/Q&A function
    • Attendee engagement options such as those within the platform and other technology integrations you can use for polls, quizzes, etc.
    • Webinar wins - how to engage with your audience when you can't even see the attendees

    We will talk about all this AND MORE during our time together.
