Professional Development Session: Five Keys to Creating an Engaging Virtual Class

Five Keys to Creating an Engaging Virtual Class

Are your learners actively engaged in your online classes, or do they passively listen while multitasking? Have you designed an engaging program that uses your platform’s robust toolset to capture attention—and more importantly—keep learners involved?

In this session, you’ll learn how to create an engaging online class that captures and maintains learner attention. Cindy will walk through five essential components to include when designing an interactive virtual program. You’ll learn how to set the stage for interaction, how to open a virtual class with immediate engagement, and how to sustain that attention throughout. Participants will leave with a practical design blueprint that can be applied to their very next virtual class.

Learning Objectives:
• Apply five principles of engaging design to each virtual class
• Open a virtual class with an activity that immediately captures attention
• Select appropriate activities that maximize participant engagement
