The Challenges of Facilitating Virtual Workshops
Challenge 2: Building on participants' prior knowledge
Pre-workshop survey
areas of strength
areas of weakness
burning questions
reasons for taking the workshop
years of experience
goals for future implementation
Polls
using mentimeter to make multiple checks throughout the workshop
Zoom also has a poling function. I've never used this part of zoom, but it could be worth looking into.
sometimes just taking notes while being in breakout rooms helps to understand more of what's going on
Collaborative mindmaps (like this one)
a good starter activity for getting some prior knowledge
participants will feel engaged and ready to start
a good starter activity for contributing self-management strategies
Challenge 1: Building community
using an interactive icebreaker
posting an emoji in the chat
posting in padlet
posting fun facts about yourself in a forum
Breakout room introductions
Gives the participants a longer amount of time to chat and introduce themselves
good for prompts: "share a quick fact about yourself with your breakout group"
In the main room, a participant could introduce another participant based on what they learned
Challenge 4: balancing participant and facilitator-led inquiries
Structured protocols
virtual fishbowl discussions
pass the mic
essential agreements
Scheduled participant-led inquiry
prompts that are investigated in breakout rooms
parking lot spaces (miro or padlet) for Q&A
Synchronus/Asynchronous Activities
think-pair-share activities to give participants a chance to share their knowledge
open forum segments of the workshop to answer parking lot questions
reflection and other asynchronous tasks that allow participants to reflect on their own
