Ways to engage in online and in-person audiences

Do you need additional tools? Consider first what you can do right in your platform:

Polling: icebreakers, choose the content, give input, quizzing, trivia, knowledge check

Chat: endless ways to use chat

Annotate: collaborative whiteboard for all participants, use PPT slides as a backdrop for annotations

Breakouts: think-pair-share, problem solve, group work, discussions

Sharing: video, music, slides, images, participant share

Other: read, speak, listen, think deeply, write, laugh

For in-person, need interaction every 10 minutes. For online, every 5 minutes!

Can be short question, or more interactive.

Choose one or two tools to use throughout your workshop, don't use them all!

Soft openers (5-10 min before webinar): warm up the brain
Openers: lay the groundwork for participation; pull them into the session
Learning activities: teach through activities, not just lecture
Energizers: (60 min) or after large section of content; get people on their feet
Revisiters: review content; have learners summarize
Closers: (last 5 min) participants walk away knowing what their next action step is
