We attended HRDQ-U’s webinar with trainer extraordinaire, Cindy Huggett — Converting Classroom Activities to Engaging Virtual Activities. Cindy was chock-full of ideas to make Virtual Meetings Magnificent and we wanted to share with you!
One of Cindy’s main messages was taking the time to think about the format and activities you usually deliver in person and how they can be transformed for a virtual setting. Because of a different delivery format, you can’t just transfer them to an online platform. You may need to spend more time to re-imagine what you’re doing and transform it to be effective online.
Ms. Huggett recommended three tasks to capture attention: set expectations, start strong, and support learning
During live learning, a static welcome screen can work quite well. When learning in-person, participants have the benefit of other people in the room, and a teacher or trainer to say hello and make them feel at ease. In virtual settings, however, a single slide will not suffice. Create a warm “virtual lobby or waiting room” with these creative ideas:
One clear message we took from HRDQ-U’s webinar is the importance to keep the screen moving. Facilitators will need many more slides than an in-person presentation – almost double the slides.
