Episode notes
Design For Virtual Strengths
- Turn virtual constraints into strengths by rethinking delivery and interaction rather than copying in-person formats.
- Embrace tools like polls, chat, and breakout rooms to increase engagement and equalize participation.
Chat Levels The Playing Field
- Virtual chat can surface side conversations that don't happen in person and give quieter people a louder voice.
- The medium can level the playing field and reveal different participation dynamics.
Use Breakouts To Recreate Small-Group Work
- Use breakout rooms for small-group discussions to recreate in-person interactions and hands-on work.
- Move between rooms to listen, check in, and inject energy into conversations.
