What works well online is not simply a matter of taking what works well offline and hoping for the best.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a bad idea for starters, as many principles and practices are directly transferable. But you also need to be aware of what\u2019s possible \u2013 and not possible \u2013 in each medium. As the context changes, so do the interactions.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been on virtual calls over the past few weeks which have varied from hideous nightmares of non-communication, to others which have touched surprising peaks of engagement, humour and intimacy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty apparent on balance that most meetings online are still dreadful. As of course are most meetings off-line. So the poverty of many online encounters is no surprise but rather an indication of poor practice compounded.<\/p>\n

However, it is possible to have a great meeting.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s been crystal clear that the single biggest factor that makes the difference is\u2026.<\/p>\n

\n

The quality of the facilitation<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If the facilitator is skilled \u2013 or even competent \u2013 we\u2019re in for a much more productive ride.<\/p>\n

So I’m going to share with you a series of posts that reveal what I\u2019ve been learning as a facilitator and a participant on virtual calls.<\/p>\n

Next blog… Good enough tech skills –\u00a0Virtual facilitation #1<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the meantime, what are your thoughts on building skills and confidence by noticing what works with your learners?<\/p>\n
