The best way I thought to keep in touch was to facilitate weekly 45-minute video calls on Zoom. For both shows, I used PowerPoint to create the slides and captions.

I made this part of the instructions.

This approach means the instructor takes a “guide on the side&# approach versus “expert on the stage.&# And, of course, it takes more preparation time than slapping together a powerpoint. This can be handled by telling participants the facilitator will be checking in the group.

The instructor’s role should be to facilitate this understanding for their students, not dump content on them. It is far less work to slap together a powerpoint presentation and prepare the content.

I also thought of a book title from about ten years ago called " Learning and Forgetting " I went a little overboard on the 80-plus powerpoint slides. It also helped in terms of getting a sense of where people were at and facilitating some sharing of stories. Once I get in the room, we throw away the slides.

Death by Powerpoint sometimes. Give your board chair training in meeting facilitation. Tip: Try cancelling your next board meeting and take them on a field trip instead. Liven Up Your Meetings. Ah, the boring board meeting. Fate worse than death? Listening passively to presentation after presentation. There’s no interesting discussion.
