Whiteboard Tools The Participant Interface

Virtual Coffee Break Template Instructions for presenter: This slide deck is meant to serve as a guide; it is not cast in stone. Please include introductions (“head shot” photos of presenters are very helpful) Keep the Elluminate slide in the deck at start or end in case it is needed Build in as much interaction as possible (ideally, every 3 minutes, participants should be engaged in some way). If there are hand-out materials, please distribute them through file share in Elluminate and let Marian know if you’d like them posted on the LINGOs site.

Virtual Coffee TITLE Presenter names, agencies Date Please include a head-shot of presenters

Include an ICE BREAKER Activity Engage participants – set the tone that this will be an interactive session. You may want to ask a question that participants reply in chat, on the whiteboard, or through a poll (or series of polls); make sure your instructions are clear so participants know what to do.

Introduce your topic Use as few words as possible. Remember that Elluminate does not allow ppts to use “reveal” or slow builds. If you need the slide to change, do that by putting in an additional slide. Plan to keep your presentation short, and build through participation and discussion of Virtual Coffee Break Participants.

Include interaction w participants ideal = every 3 minutes polls, write on whiteboard, respond in chat, learning games
