Social Media Master Class. The overall goal was to provide participants with a combination of insights and practical tips to help them be effective.

In my work as a trainer and facilitator, I make workshops and master classes as interactive as possible, incorporating peer discussion, movement, and creativity. But it isn’t impossible, if you follow best practices for virtual facilitation for meetings. The next step is to facilitate a discussion.

I strongly believe that a workshop, panel, master class, or even a keynote that is interactive is more engaging, people pay attention, they make connections to what they already know and are far more likely to apply it. Certain room set ups encourage interaction between the participants and the workshop leader, others do not.

Mayer’s research is from the 1990s, but the finders were recently validated again in a study from Carl Wieman that college students learn more, attend class at higher rates and are more engaged in their education when teachers take a more interactive approach in the classroom. This mirrors what you might do in a face-to-face workshop.
