Facilitation IssuesIssues Issues
• Learn the tool • Using avatars to remind you of what you should be doing in a virtual environment (greeting them, treating them like people)
• Have a producer • Using cameras to increase accountability of user participation, treating them like you would face-to-face
• Need to teach facilitators to instruct in virtual environment
• Panoramic camera usage
• If people don’t participate, call on them! • Turn webcams on at beginning them turn off
• Keep participants responsible for participating (raising hand)
• Lower participation barriers – opt in / choice for using webcam
• Acknowledging participants when they come in
• Be in room by self when on webinar if at all process
• Webinars end harshly just like the begin harshly—tell participants how you can connect one on one afterwards
• Asking personal questions to get it started and bring up conversation
Facilitation IssuesIssues How to Resolve
• Great SME -poor communicated • Collaborate rather than lecture• Have a co-facilitator• Rehearse and coach• Stress conversational talk techniques• Use humor• Vary your voice intonations• Do not sound scripted
• Limited engagement with participants • Design compelling questions• Include interactive activities• Use the chat feature
• Improper use of features - polls • Learn how to facilitate a poll
• Uncontrollable speaking by participants
• Use raise hand feature
• Unfamiliar with technology • Practice
• Instructor unaware of what the participants see
• Use two computers and log in one as a participant
Have a Encourage Interaction Slide at Beginning
Although “anyone can teach,” delivering impactful, high value learning precisely is an art form.
Successful virtual training demands a new game strategy and necessitates higher standards..
In the past, knowledge was power.Today, knowledge is free.
Value drives power.
