This course will teach you how to run an online workshop that will keep people engaged and achieve your objectives. Effective meeting discipline will ensure that you use people’s time wisely as you meet together virtually to share ideas and collaborate effectively.

  • Set up a poll in MS Teams to get input from attendees on up to 6 different options without interrupting the flow of the meeting

  • Use a Google countdown timer to display the time remaining for a workshop break so that everyone resumes at the same time

  • Agenda timings should match the content and discussion; learn to plan this effectively

  • A professional table of slots and outcomes for each item will help keep your workshop on track when you facilitate

  • Content preparation; slides, AV, and other pre-reads that help drive the workshop objectives

  • The importance of sending out the pre-reads and relevant content at least 48 working hours prior to the meeting

  • Mental and physical preparation that ensures you are ready to run an effective online workshop which is totally different from in-person

  • Working From Home distractions and how you will need to step up, even more, to ensure everyone stays engaged

A good foundation, but also a kind of wrap-up for me. But great to get basics/skeleton in place and then I expect it to develop from here

The introduction and the visual representation were done really well. Easy to follow and immediately transferable. Thank you.

I am learning so much from the presentation that I would normally take for granted. Very informative and the pace is excellent

Amazing course, that enables me as a better consultant and facilitator at Deloitte. So glad about having the opportunity to study it.

Probably needing more information as to technical set up for professional workshop presentations - the physical connection of components ... but great so far as a basic introduction for someone who has not had any experience presenting.

Yeah, I facilitate regularly as a part of my job, and it is great to look at more of a tactical approach to all of these pieces.

I have facilitated in-person private-sector change management, community development, and government consultations. The online approach is new to me. I look forward to learning about the online version of facilitation.

The concepts are transmitted in a clear and understandable way. Peter Alkema is a warm person, pleasent to look at and listen to. This makes it easier to concentrate and follow the content he delivers, also outside a physical class room. Looking forward to continuing with this course.

Way too much unnecessary information, some of which doesn't even have anything to do with MS Teams. Could easily be compiled into a two or maybe even a one hour course if worded more efficiently and not having unnecessary information about things unrelated to MS Teams, presentations and meetings. The whole course is basically a recording of a zoom call.

Definitely! I am not fond of speaking in public. I can see how using these trips will take away some of that stress and stumbling during a presentation.

First 3 Section are useful. But the Webinars later don't have anything to do with the Title "Online Workshop Facilitation ... ".

i signed up for a 2 hour MS Teams Workshop Facilitation. At 75% of the course, it suddenly added HOURS of classes on separate subject, same teacher-- something went wrong.

This course is much more than I bargained for. So very informative with "current events" and current technology. Very impressed.

I thought this course would have had more details on the use of MS Teams. The audio on some of the sections could improve but overall it was a good course.

Looking for more walkthrough on how to effectively use microsoft teams and explore technical features. But content is still great though.
