I made intentional choices about the environmental elements of my session based on the delivery method.
Environment
Develop a teaser slideshow set to auto-advance in a loop. Some ideas:
Preview the content or provide an overview of the learning
Try trivia questions
Share appropriate quotes, facts, data
Set this to run before the session to activate thinking before you even start.
Develop content that is complementary (and not distracting) to the information on the main screen:
Directions
Key terms to refer to
Digital parking lot
Upcoming events
The sign-in link and/or link to resources
If you’re hosting a hybrid event or a meeting with one or more remote participants, use the side screen for the Zoom room/link, leaving the main screen for session content.
No one’s head needs to be that big.
Mobile IFPs can be checked out from TDS and are especially helpful when additional screens are useful for collaborative stations, to increase visibility for large groups, and to display a QR code for sign ins. They function like the side screens installed in our training rooms.
