This will be a live and in-person version of my wildly popular session on virtual training delivery: the 5 keys to success of master virtual trainers. I’ll be sharing practical ways you can be a rock star in the virtual classroom, along with a number of tips you can immediately apply in your next training delivery!
In this session, you will learn specific ideas for interactivity and engagement in virtual training sessions. You will learn activity ideas in five categories: openers, games, technical topics, interpersonal skills, and closers. The session will start with activity ideas that begin before a virtual class, in order to set the stage for success. You will learn a successful design process to use when creating virtual classroom activities. You will also learn how to creatively use common virtual classroom tools to engage online participants and learn many activity ideas that you can immediately use.
Are your virtual classes stagnant? Do you find you’re using the same tools—polling, whiteboards, chat—that you’ve used for years? Are your participants multitasking, despite your efforts to draw them in? Do you want to find new ways to engage your audience? If you need to shake up your approach to virtual classrooms, then why not look to the future and consider how new technologies and new mindsets will influence your virtual training’s effectiveness?
