Workshop: How to Facilitate Engaging Virtual and Hybrid Classes

Description:

Think you know how to create effective and engaging virtual and hybrid classes?  Think again! Even though virtual training has been around for over two decades, everything has changed over the past few years. The virtual landscape has evolved, and participant expectations have increased.  

Facilitators are being asked to do more, to incorporate hybrid learners while ensuring interactive and engaging learning programs. Therefore, facilitators need to update their toolset and skillset to create engaging learning experiences for all participants. 

In this hands-on interactive workshop with expert Cindy Huggett, you will learn how to facilitate engaging online learning experiences that capture and keep participant attention and more importantly, leads to learning transfer.  

You will learn how to create a collaborative environment for fully remote and/or hybrid learners. You will also learn the key facilitation skills needed to engage remote audiences for learning success. And you’ll walk away with a set of tools and templates that you can immediately use in your virtual and hybrid classes. 

Topics include:  

• Recognizing benefits and challenges of virtual and hybrid learning environments 

• Determining whether hybrid learning is right for your organization, and if so, how to do it well 

• Open a learning experience with immediate activity to capture attention

• Create a shared learning experience for both virtual and hybrid learners

• Ask inclusive questions to involve everyone in discussion and dialogue

• Lead collaborative learning activities in virtual and hybrid environments 

• Use common online classroom tools creatively in both virtual and hybrid environments 

Note that this is a platform-agnostic session, and the concepts/principles will apply regardless of which platform you use (Teams, WebEx, Adobe Connect, Zoom, etc.).
