Description
One of the most important challenges online course instructors face is reaching participants beyond the screen, motivating them to actively participate in the course, and maintaining a high level of interest throughout the course. Of course, this also needs to be achieved in in-person events - but in online courses, this hurdle is more daunting, as the means for involvement and motivation are much more limited. In this panel, we would like to talk and share with experienced trainers and trainers new to the training role about their experiences on this topic. Our goal for each participant is to gather new insights and ideas on how to engage learners of remote courses successfully and to be enabled to integrate these methods in future training events if needed. For the joint discussion we will prepare miroboards to gather and summarize ideas and possible solutions coming up during the collaborative discussion.
Prerequisite for participation: Please bring your own example on the mentioned discussion points to present in the group.
