Looking At Live Virtual Training Differently

My name is David Gibson and I'll be your training facilitator for your workshop, 'Looking At Live Virtual Training Differently'.

This tab contains all the information that you need for you our time together including:

Dates and times
Links to our virtual platforms
Handouts and resources
etc

To make sure that you get exactly what you're hoping for from your training, I'd like you to take around 6-minutes and complete the questionnaire towards the bottom of this page. Please complete this before our training on Friday.

Below is a short video I thought you might find useful.

Structure

Your workshop is made up of 6 episodes, each one looking at a different part of live virtual training design.

Below is a tab for each day where we will be working together for 2 episodes and the handouts that you'll need for each episode. Please have these available - either printed or in PowerPoint.

I'm looking forward to starting to work with you on Friday 7 May. Please complete your questionnaire prior to that time and please have a training in mind that you'd like to design to work in the live virtual training environment.

See you soon - David
