What Past Participants thought

“I thoroughly enjoyed this 3 part course. Megan is an online facilitation guru who has extensive experience in this sector. I started the course feeling apprehensive and left buzzing with ideas and enthusiasm. I can really see how we as an organisation can get massive benefit from the skills I have learned. I can't wait to get started. Thanks so much!”

-Paula Meise, OSCR

“Having been very apprehensive about using virtual facilitation, particularly the need at present to be up and running quickly, I found that this course provided me with some new insights into facilitation as well as the functionality of the Zoom  app for communicating and working with small and large groups”

-Anne Marie Murdoch, Disclosure Scotland

“I’d been using Zoom to arrange meetings and share a screen or presentation, but this course goes beyond that. It thoroughly unwrapped Zoom for me, it was absorbing and delivered in a fun and engaging way. I honestly can’t recommend it enough, I certainly feel more clued in on how to prepare and deliver content online.”

-Dr Rachael Wakefield, CENSIS Innovation Centre for Sensors, Imaging and IoT

“An excellent workshop with demonstrations and practise at using Zoom to bring online facilitation to life”.
