Participants came from four continents and represent educators and librarians working in elementary and secondary schools, faculty in higher education, and educators and social service personnel in the non-profit/cultural/community sector. Survey evidence shows that the program provided valuable support for participants' social, emotional and learning needs. Compared to non-participants, those who participated in Virtually Viral Hangouts were more optimistic about the potential benefits of the crisis. A large majority of participants were able to replicate or adapt program elements and features with their work colleagues. Nearly half indicated that they were able to apply instructional practices modeled in the program to their own practice teaching online.
