1. Webinar vs Workshop

• In a webinar the audience tunes-in. Interactivity is low, similar to a talk.
• In a workshop the audience actively participates.

2. Scaling Workshop

• Kent limits his workshops to 40 attendees. This has two benefits:
  • Participants can get their questions answered.
  • Make up for not being in person by being engaged with people in small group settings.

3. Answering Questions

• Never answer questions specific to someone's specific situation. Until it gets to the breakout exercise time.
  • For questions relevant to everyone, the chat is great but not ideal.
  • If questions are irrelevant, send them to a separate AMA.
  • Example: 🔗Kent's AMA
• The best approach is for attendees to interrupt using their microphones.
• Create pausing point for people to ask questions.
• Don't be afraid of silence. 5-10 seconds and wait.

4. Breakout Rooms

• Create Breakout Rooms in Zoom. These are useful for splitting a large group into smaller groups that can talk or collaborate.
  • 📹 Video Breakout Rooms in Zoom
• The instructor visits each Breakout Room.
  • The first time in a Breakout Room get everyone to introduce themselves.
    • Ask people to keep video on if possible.
    • Check for exercise understanding.
    • When closing breakouts, attendees get 60 seconds to re-join.
  • 📹 Watch Use Zoom for KCD Workshops

5. Outline & Participation

• Have a very defined outline for exercises. Example:
  • 📕Kent's React Fundamentals Workshop Outline
