Hey there, Zoom hosts! We all know how tricky it can be to keep our audience engaged during Financial Institution Standard (FIS) Training sessions, right? With tons of information flying around, it’s so easy for folks to zone out. That's where cranking up the engagement game comes in. When your audience is actively involved, not only do they stay focused, but they remember the information way better. Which, let's face it, is the whole point of training, right?
Get Your Audience on the Map
Okay, let’s break the ice from the start using Magic Maps. This feature is awesome for making everyone feel seen, and not just another face in the Zoom grid. Ask your audience where they’re tuning in from. 'Hey everyone, drop where you're logging in from in the chat!' Or get creative and have them share a financial hub they’re interested in—could be anywhere from Wall Street to the heart of London. You can also ask them about a global financial institution they admire. The instant visual of dots lighting up the world not only builds a sense of community but wakes everyone up right at the start.
Start Conversations with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls are your ticket to deeper insights with no limits. Let’s say you’re discussing FIS regulatory updates—get a feel for what your audience thinks about recent rule changes. Ask them about their biggest FIS challenges, or what regulatory changes make them uneasy. Collect their feedback in real-time, and adapt if you need to. Plus, it generates fantastic discussion topics for everyone to benefit from.
Quick Decisions with Power Polls
Let’s use Power Polls to keep things interactive! It’s a dynamic way to see what your audience thinks in real-time. Ask them for opinions on recent FIS changes or let them choose between topics they want to dive deeper into. Another angle? Check their confidence level at different stages with a 'How comfy are you with this topic now?' poll. It's a win-win—you guide the session while they feel their voice is heard.
Spin to Win: Engage with the Winner Wheel
Let’s talk Winner Wheel! You know, when it comes to training, participation is key. So why not throw in a little reward system? Randomize a prize draw for those participating in discussions or answering questions. Maybe you ask a tricky FIS trivia question and whoever answers gets their name on the wheel. Or while discussing complex standards, you ask folks to share a success story. Pop all the contributors' names on the wheel, spin it, and see who gets some cool swag or a shout-out! It’s simple, fun, and who doesn’t love a little prize, right?
Craft Visual Ideas with Wonder Words
Wonder Words! Here’s your chance to visualize thoughts and ideas. Throughout your session, ask your audience to share one-word summaries of key topics. For example, 'What’s the first word that comes to mind when you think ‘FIS compliance’?' or 'One word to describe your experience with the training so far?' Watch as the most common words grow on screen. It’s an outstanding way to instantly see which points resonated or need a revisit, all while keeping the session lively and fun.
Let the Circle Decide
