Lunch and Learn Online: Engaging Virtual Classroom Activities - PLUS the Homework Assignment Participants Love!

They never do the application assignments, let alone the pre-work for any training, let alone a virtual one! And whether it’s an online meeting, a presentation via webinar, or live online training, engagement is the main question on everyone’s mind: Will it be worth my time to attend, or will it be an opportunity to check email instead? Virtual classroom technology is powerful and has made it easy to connect with people from anywhere in the world at any time, yet L&D professionals often still struggle with getting everyone to interact. Interaction is the answer to successful engagement and using the features of the platform is the answer to interaction. However, the features alone do not engage the participants. It is what you choose to do with those features that will make the difference in your next virtual training and determine whether they do those application assignments or not!

During this session, you will learn what you can do to be successful in the virtual environment and avoid having everyone ask for a recording or a copy of the slides five minutes into your next virtual event. You’ll analyze the activities demonstrated and brainstorm where the techniques could be applied to your virtual training programs. You’ll explore the specific challenges of managing the technology, and brainstorm solutions to the engagement problems you are likely to experience with your live online attendees when technical problems arise. Activities are the key to your success. Through them you’ll learn to manage the technology, get attendees to actively engage, and help presenters have a great time too!


Learner Objectives:

In this session, participants will:

  • Define virtual learner engagement to effectively design the learning appropriate activities.
  • Analyze activities for specific engagement techniques and feature usage to apply to your training.
  • Create your own customized activities for immediate use in your virtual classroom programs.
