The Professional Development team is pleased to announce a new online course, Facilitating Online.

As working and learning online have become more prevalent over the past few years, facilitating online has become a critical workplace skill.

This course has been designed to help develop and hone online facilitation skills for those delivering training, preparing for a seminar, or hosting online meetings. It is self-paced and includes demonstrations, facilitation strategies, tips, checklists and templates.

2) strategies to effectively set up your online facilitation environment
3) strategies for creating a welcoming and inclusive online environment to ensure an optimal online experience for participants
4) how to structure online sessions for maximum engagement and create effective slide decks.
