P6 BYOD: Designing for Virtual Classroom Experiences
8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Tuesday, October 19
Virtual classroom experiences can range from engaging and exciting, to dull and boring. The make-or-break factor stems from two major things: the initial instructional design and facilitation techniques. Crafting virtual classroom experiences requires more than understanding how to create in person classroom training; it takes a deeper understanding of the unique features and opportunities of this type of training and how best to leverage the functionality of the VC tools and features you use.
In this hands-on workshop you'll learn how to take common, face-to-face training situations and translate them for effective and engaging virtual delivery using the features of the many virtual classroom technologies available today. We'll also explore how to make the best use of the video, audio, and webcams. You'll practice your skills by redesigning a case sample (or even a training example from your own organization) for virtual delivery. If you design VC content but know you need to enhance your instructional design skills to make what you create a better fit for the VC environment, then this workshop is for you.
In this session, you will learn:
