Hi Everyone,
I¡¯m running an online workshop next week called ¡°The (Virtual) Session Design Lab¡± - it¡¯s a day long workshop designed to improve the facilitation and training skills of participants. Originally I had envisioned the Lab being a face-to-face workshop to be run in London at the end of March. I had secured a venue and had started selling tickets and then the COVID-19 Lockdown happened and I switched to running the Lab virtually, which went surprisingly well given the shift.
During the workshop, participants focus on positive learning experiences they¡¯ve had and then get exposed to research on adult learning and then how that research has been translated into a workshop format known as ADIDS.? Participants then design their own sessions and share their plans with each other for feedback.? We also talk about best practices for running sessions online. ?
The workshop will take place in April 23rd at 10:00 CEST.? Note that discounts and scholarships are available for anyone facing financial hardship due to the lockdowns - see:??
Also, I¡¯m building a list of resources to share during next week¡¯s resources and thought I¡¯d ask for people here for resources you think I should include (been looking at Tammy¡¯s List - thanks!) - basically anything that you would point people to in learning about faciliation, training and holding online session.
A recent one from colleague I¡¯m looking forward to including, Willow Brugh on collaborative note taking -
