The secret to wonderful online trainings is to keep tech simple . . . and do it well. In this two-hour course, facilitator Rivera Sun will guide you through the best tips and tricks to making facilitating online courses seamless and smooth. Whether you’re interested in facilitating nonviolence (Pace e Bene’s superpower) or something else, this fun and friendly training will help you keep your students engaged and lively. (And help you stay calm and relaxed.) You’ll learn not only the technological how-to’s, but also the “soft skills” of facilitating tech with grace and ease. We’ll also share what to do if tech glitches—because it happens. This course is for people who want to facilitate online meetings, webinars, courses, or discussion groups and are looking to skill-up their abilities. It is useful if you’ve never facilitated a webinar and if you’ve facilitated dozens.
You will learn:
Zoom basics—and how to use them seamlessly
How to make people feel comfortable using tech
The art of using breakout rooms—set up, preparing participants, guidelines, time length, and debriefing
How to balance presentation, slides, video, breakout rooms & discussion
How to use the chatbox as a tool, not a distraction
How to stay centered and not get flustered over tech
Some ways to be inclusive of many learning styles and abilities
And much more!
