In this full day, fully virtual workshop, trainers and others will gain practical, immediately applicable techniques to make their virtual workshops highly engaging, active and effective. Based on the science of how people learn and designed specifically for virtual training, this hands-on program will build confidence and transfer best practices to learners.

The program will cover areas that all presenters, virtual trainers, coaches and educators must master to deliver learning that matters.

The online presenting/learning experience takes some getting used to – for both the presenter and the audience/learners. It can limit the presenter’s personality and make even the most experienced presenters/educators look like novices.

This full day virtual course will introduce you to a range of tools you can use to provide fresh variety in your virtual courses and presentations. Discover fun, engaging tools to take your virtual sessions to another level. With a little practice, you’ll look like a tech pro – even if you’re new to tech tools. These carefully selected tools are easy to use, reliable and will add real value to your learning deliveries. Plus, you’ll use systems of evaluation to select the right tools for your sessions.

As millions of presenters and educators flood the virtual world with their courses and other presentations, you must find ways to stand out. The best way to do this is to deliver knock-your-socks-off virtual sessions. The reality is that the online learning experience takes some getting used to – for both presenters/facilitator and the audience/learner. Being virtual, it may limit the presenter’s personality, making even the most experienced presenters look like novices. From a learner/audience perspective, this can lead to an early, and perhaps inaccurate deduction that the presenter is underdelivering, unprepared, unfamiliar with technology or simply lacking in the required skills as an educator. None of which is desirable.

We’ll explore at least 12 fun, effective tools that will help raise your virtual engagement and connection with your learners. This will increase learner retention and reduce Zoom fatigue.

While the course is not a ‘how to’ tutorial or step-by-step guide on using each tool, you’ll will get a good feel of how each tool is incorporated into learning delivery as each tool has been weaved into this course. You’ll experience its impact, relevance and ease of implementation. Additionally, each tool developer offers clear, step-by-step instructions you can explore on-demand. Plus, your course leader and course mates will provide guidance, ideas & feedback you can use in your own sessions.

Virtual presenting/training is both an art & science. To engage the audience and deliver real value via a screen – to any number of people, some of whom may be physically separated by thousands of kilometers & multiple time zones – can be a daunting task. Fortunately, there are tech tools that can help keep participant attention and energy high. Used as part of a well-planned delivery strategy and designed to assist in accomplishing objectives, they are a powerful and effective enhancer in any presentation/learning environment especially online.

We’ll explore systematic techniques to match suitable tools to desired outcomes. You’ll get your audience laughing & moving – yes, even in a virtual environment! You’ll be able to engage, energize and wake up your learners. You’ll improve Zoom breakout room teamwork, reduce stress and engage the brain.

This is an active, hands-on session. You’ll get to use, test and experiment with some of the most exciting and easy to use tools around. Together with session peers, you’ll use and tweak them, so you may determine how you can best adapt them for your virtual deliveries.

And you’ll have loads of fun!
