Course description
Mastering Zoom Breakout Rooms & Polling
When facilitating online meetings or training online workshops, facilitators and trainers continue to find their biggest challenge to be engagement and participation from the attendees. How do you transform a group of passive virtual meeting attendees/participants into highly engaged, active collaborators? Our go-to engagement tools include breakout rooms and polling!
Breakout rooms are useful for splitting a large group of session participants into pairs, triads or smaller groups so they can collaborate privately, stay engaged and therefore produce higher quality output.
Polling allows the host to take the pulse of their meeting participants, get their participants engaged and keep the content dynamic.
In this 2-hour workshop, a seasoned facilitator and Zoom super-user will walk participants through the features, applications and provide live demos.
Who should attend?
Meeting or Training facilitators whose sessions would benefit from smaller group discussion or exercises and would like to use polling to test for understanding, interest and engagement.
