Best Practices for Online Workshops
Delivered April 16, 2020. Contributor: Esther M.
Goals
To establish how people translate best practices for in-person workshops to an online setting and new ideas for online facilitation.
Early Findings
Getting the Audience to Relax
- Most facilitators consider it best practice when they can get the audience to relax and establish a collaborative meeting.
- A relaxed audience is in a better position to brainstorm in any setting, whether virtually or in person.
- There have been concerns that engaging a virtual audience is more complicated than in-person. However, facilitators who plan can have a successful virtual meeting just as in-person. In this case, facilitators should ensure that all material and discussions or questions are well organized before the session begins.
- Facilitators should apply the same methods they apply in person when conducting virtual meetings.
