With remote work a necessity and online conferencing burgeoning, we are all facing new challenges in conducting online training and education. Virtual breakout rooms have become a go-to to escape the tedium of the perennial shared-screen PowerPoint slides. In fact, on-line breakout rooms are terrific for application based exercises and collaborative work. However, online break-outs are quite different than small group work in a face-to-face environment. When we are face-to-face with our participants, we use our super powers in intuition and multi-tasking. We can simultaneously work with one group, while also paying attention to the energy and engagement of other groups in the room, which is quite difficult online. In short, we can hear, hover, correct, and coach on the spot. However, in virtual break-outs, so much time can be wasted on logistics, and participants vary in their team-work skills and preparation. Join our presentation and conversation on strategies to increase productivity and engagement in virtual breakout rooms.
