WORKSHOP RESOURCES
Thank you for attending the workshop with Patricia Regier!
We welcome your feedback, by completing this brief survey.
Additional Answers to Your Questions
- Industry leaders recommend every 3-5 minutes include an engagement feature (activity or touch-point))
- Some options for how often to build-in breaks: 5 minutes every 30 minutes, or 10 minutes every 60 minutes or 15 minutes every 90 minutes. If you build in frequent bio breaks, and a mix of breaks from looking at the screen, such as a self-study or handout, you will reduce virtual meeting fatigue.
- Don’t forget to take breaks in-between meetings and learning experiences, for yourself as a facilitator or instructor.
- Ways to test the knowledge your participants are remembering: Touchpoints throughout content with quick polls, annotation activities, and chat, to affirm and remind people what they are learning. Also, give opportunities for questions and clarification.
