Episode notes
Engage and Pace Effectively
- A great workshop leader must be engaging and attentive to everyone's understanding and needs.
- Proper pacing is essential to not leave anyone behind or disengage participants.
Level Workshops Clearly
- Clearly communicate the required skill level before a workshop to encourage proper participant self-selection.
- Consider splitting content into beginner and advanced sessions to cater better to different skill levels.
Optimize Workshop Size and Format
- Smaller workshop sizes facilitate intimacy and peer communication; for large classes, use TAs.
- Remote workshops are challenging without video and interactivity; video improves engagement.
