Virtual Facilitator
This page includes information and extra materials associated with the Virtual Facilitator Course (also known as HIT-V) run for P&G.
Course Description
Session 1 = CORE PRINCIPLES
This is a 2-hour virtual classroom session where we will share and demonstrate the core principles of facilitating effectively in virtual.
You will learn about how to create and maintain a great virtual learning environment, for you and for your trainees/participants; how to run exercises well in virtual; and the most important facilitator behaviours (virtual virtues).
Session 2 = "Behind The Scenes"
This is a 2-hour virtual classroom session where we will go deeper into practicalities. How to redefine interactions so you see and feel the engagement of the class. How to include polls & quizzes. How to manage breakouts. And how to make sure you are seen and heard through great webcam set-up.
Session 3 = Masterclasses
You will be invited to one of the small group masterclasses. Groups normally 3-4 people plus trainer plus producer.
You come prepared to deliver a short (10 minute) piece of facilitation. This can be a section of training or an element of a workshop.
The producer is there to help you throughout. Ideally send them your slides and instructions on where you would want support through the session (e.g. breakouts, music.
