The Mindtools L&D Podcast 234 — Facilitating virtual classrooms
If you're a trainer missing the thrill of face-to-face learning, but embracing online facilitation nevertheless, then this episode is for you!
This week on the Good Practice Podcast, Gemma chats to Jo Cook and Gaëlle Watson to explore the possibilities that digital life offers facilitators. We discuss:
- the shifts that have taken place in
- what facilitators can do to enhance the online learning experiences they offer
- what further changes might happen as we move into mixed modalities.
