A good facilitator is essential to the success of any group or learning process. And, with the proliferation of virtual meetings and workshops it is increasingly important for facilitators to be aware of how to facilitate in a remote location. But, facilitating effectively in a virtual environment requires time and consideration of the particular challenges that participants have to face. This article outlines the most important considerations and best practice for efficient virtual facilitation.
One of the biggest problems for participants who are virtual is that they are unable detect body language or what others are doing in response to the discussion. This can lead some to feel unheard or their opinions dismissed, which could negatively impact the outcome of a meeting. Facilitation skills that are of high quality help to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard and that participants are involved throughout the entire session.
The absence of physical resources could make it difficult to run specific exercises and activities in the same way they would be in a live workshop. In a live workshop whiteboards, flip charts, whiteboards as well as post-it notes and other visual aids are effective. However, this can be difficult for online workshops. Include a variety of activities for an online session like breakout sessions, games that are experiential and other traditional elements, such as questions and information sharing.
