Other comments example: materials, facilitator, sharing of experiences, discussions? (11 Responses)
- Great reference material
- I would say it was a bit odd to tell the audience
- Mediocre format, usefulness and value marks relate not to presenter but appropriateness of online group format for this (and any other such) session, also appropriateness for a social event vs a group or teambuilding workshop. Those are situational issues and organizational choices mostly, Jason is great, though length and presentation format could possibly be adapted better to such realities.
- Might be nice to go into small groups into break rooms to discuss things and connect with colleagues.
- I was expecting something different based on the title. I don’t think the title reflected the content. There was no discussion of the ” final frontier or exercise in futility” part. Also it was called a workshop but it was really a presentation. I think of a workshop as involving the participants taking more of an active discussion role, maybe getting something to think about before the presentation, working on some ideas. In this presentation there were a few questions asked but then we were given the answers the presenter wanted us to have so it wasn’t a discussion at all. We definitely weren’t “working” on anything.
- Thank you
- Thanks
- Total lack of relevance to NSEM volunteer. It was a waste of time.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH AN AMAZING WORKSHOP!!
- Very good presentation and very good presenter, who is also very funny
- It would be interesting to use tools (i.e. instant multiple choice question / survey tools) that participants answer on their phone. Encourages engagement and is fun.
