Context

With everything that’s going on in the world right now, more and more people are starting to run meetings and deliver workshops and training virtually using Zoom, Google Meet and other online tools.

It can be quite daunting at first to make the transition from in person delivery to online; you have to juggle lots of things all at the same time like tabs, engagement, notes, polls, chat functionality, virtual whiteboards and videos; all on a small laptop and potentially not being able to see participants while presenting your slides.

With the right guidance, support and approach however, anyone can make the leap and run successful workshops and meetings online. The Workshop From Home online course gives you everything you need to know to feel as comfortable delivering your remote workshops as you do delivering them in person.

Identify some of the key challenges with delivering workshops virtually
