The response to the COVID-19 pandemic meant that many of us worked from home over the past months. And that trend is expected to continue in the near future. Learning how to deliver a virtual presentation that is effective and engaging is an asset in these times.
This one-day workshop will give participants valuable insights into how to present in a virtual environment using the most popular delivery platforms: Zoom, MS Teams, GoToMeeting, and Google Meet.
Topics covered include: the differences between virtual and in-person presentations; the major challenges (presenter, presentation, and technical) with virtual presentations; and using popular virtual presentation platforms.
