This course is now full
If you’d like to be added to the waiting list please complete this online form – just don’t make any payment.
If you’d like to receive a copy of the recording, it will be available after the event at a slightly reduced fee (as you’ll have missed the opportunity to try things out with us). The booking form allows you to express interest in this.
You will learn …
- techniques, tips and ideas
- how to make your sessions comfortable for you and your group
- how to communicate clearly
- how to create a sense of ease and flow
- what does and doesn’t work so well online, why & what can we do about it
- and together we will explore any challenges, questions and specific situations you bring
This will include …
- The session atmosphere: Starting and endings; the “Waiting Room” vs “join beforehand”; creating a welcoming atmosphere; shared screen videos; using silence; duration of sessions & breaks.
- Communication & interactions: How people see, hear and interact with each other online: requests to speak; a ‘round robin’ trick; working 1-2-1, in pairs, or as a group; using ‘Pin’ and ‘Spotlight’; making better eye contact.
- How clear can you be?: visual and audio issues; zoom settings & equipment; what’s the best background?; tips for lighting and your internet quality.
- Handling common issues: technical or joining problems; accessibility issues (e.g. subtitles for people with hearing impairments); people who prefer not to see themselves on screen.
- Zoom set up tips: “repeating” links for each group you run; security options.
My website has help pages on many Zoom topics which will act as backup after the course.
The session will be recorded and available to all attendees (plus anyone who has paid, but unable to make this particular date).

You will, of course, miss the opportunity to ask questions / discuss your own experience and needs / practice some of the tips and tricks.

- Hybrid sessions: You run face to face groups and want to occasionally include someone on Zoom (a “hybrid” session).
- Breakout Rooms: for fast paired sharing. This can be useful for the first few minutes of a session or to mix up the dynamic and pace of the session.
- Presenting information: (e.g. a case study) to the group as documents or slideshows.
- Gathering ideas as a group: everyone contributing to a single document – e.g. a shared whiteboard.
- Gathering opinions in larger groups: Fast (15 second) “Yes/No/Maybe” voting as well as more detailed polling.
