Looking At Live Virtual Training Differently
22-24 October 2024
Welcome
My name's David Gibson and I'll be your training facilitator for your workshop, 'Looking At Live Virtual Training Differently'.
Your training website contains all the information that you need for our time together including:
- Dates and times
- Handouts and resources
- Who you'll be working with
Resources will be added following each live episode.
Below is a short video questionnaire I'd like you to watch and complete prior to start of your training. It should take you no longer than 7-minutes to watch the 'welcome' message from me and complete the video questionnaire.
Who You'll Be Working With
- Dekha Abdi Mohamed
- Diana Laura Najar Simon
- Diana Gomez
- Marie Zimmermann
- Mercedes Fioravanti
- Elly Mulaha
- Meg Otieno
- Juno Min
- Catherine Villegas
- Carolina Victoria Loreti
Training Structure
Your workshop is made up of 6 episodes, each one looking at a different part of live virtual training design and facilitation.
Below is a tab for each day we'll be working together. It contains the handouts that you'll need during your training, so please have these available - either printed or in PowerPoint.
We will be using MS Teams for your workshop and as part of your training, we will look at how best to use the platform for your own training.
This is not a sit back and watch type of training - it's a roll up your sleeves and get designing workshop. So please bring with you a workshop that you need to re-design or a workshop that you need to create. You can then apply ideas and techniques to these workshops as we go, so that your workshop will be complete by the end of the 3-days (or well on the way to completion). So I ask you to keep your webcams on throughout your training and continually participate. Don't worry, I'll never put you on the spot or ask you something without giving time prior to consider you possible response.

Episode 1
Separating The Need-To-Know Content From The Nice-To-Know Content
This episode will take you along the path of being able to decide what training can and cannot help achieve and from that, whether training is really the solution to what you (and the organisation) currently see as a performance gap – because training is not the solution to everything.
If training is going to be the solution, then you’ll write the aim of the training. With that aim in mind, we’ll then use a matrix to select the key content that the business needs your learners to start using that they are not using now.
