Better Online Workshops
Online workshops that connect
Communicating well online is an essential skill for modern Public Services. However, many online events, webinars and panels have very limited impact because they do not effectively engage participants.
Our training will help you break out of the doom loop of boring online meetings and workshops!
Understand why your meetings are failing to engage people!
Who should attend
Do you recognise yourself or your team members in two or more of these points? Then the Better Online Workshops training is for you:
- You’re organising an online event and want to include a range of voices
- You want to bring a community together online
- Networking and spontaneous discussion is key for you
- You want to deliver information in a way that gets others listening – and acting on what they hear
- You want to extend the reach of your team, organisation, network or community
The training focuses on online-only events. It’s geared towards larger, more complex and higher-stakes events than everyday meetings. However, many of the key learnings will easily transfer to everyday contexts.

This course consists of two modules:
Module 1: Making Space for Online Engagement
Grasp the critical factors for genuinely inclusive online events. You’ll learn:
- How to improve online presence, for yourself and for your participants
- How to choose event technology that works for your context
- How to design events for engagement and participation, so that everyone stays focussed and the sessions are memorable
- How to make space for the off-the-cuff connections that are so often missing online.
Module 2: Confident Delivery
With a specific forthcoming event in mind, you’ll create a detailed plan to ensure success. You’ll learn:
- How to build an event running order that supports effective collaborative delivery
- How to prepare presenters, participants and others so that active participation is easy
- How to be ready to deal with unexpected problems, such as technical issues
- How to make sure that sessions start and end on time.
Our Better Online Workshops training is recommended by the Institute for Online Collaboration for its interactive approach.
