Let's face it, folks – keeping your audience engaged during a Google Meet can be a bit of a challenge, especially when you're diving into something as detailed as regulatory code training. The good news is, engaging your audience isn't just possible; it's absolutely essential. When you're training on regulatory codes, the more engaged your attendees are, the better they'll grasp the information. They'll stick around longer, pay more attention, and retain more knowledge – all good things when you're hoping for successful training outcomes!
Put Your Audience on the Map with Magic Maps
Magic Maps can really set the tone for your session, and here's how you can use them. Start your regulatory code training by asking, 'Where in the world are you tuning in from today?' instantly displaying responses in real-time on a world map. This is a great ice-breaker and helps everyone see the range of locales participating in the training. To get a bit more on-topic, you could ask, 'Which regulatory region are you most focused on?' Maybe you're teaching regulations that vary by location, and this way, you can customize your session to suit the most common areas specified. Finally, try asking, 'What region's regulations do you tackle most in your job?' This not only makes participants feel seen, but it can help you tailor the training to what they really need.
Fuel Conversations with Opinion Polls
Need to spark a broader discussion? Opinion Polls let you do just that. Ask questions open to various perspectives to draw in unique attendee experiences. You could ask, 'What's the toughest regulatory challenge you've faced?' or 'In your opinion, which new regulation impacts your work the most?' Encourage detailed answers and you’ll get a pool of real-world applications and advice generating discussion and learning beyond what's just in the slides.
Capture Instant Feedback with Power Polls
Power Polls are fantastic for getting quick feedback on complex topics. Say you're tackling several regulatory frameworks. Poll the group: 'Which framework do you deal with most?' or 'Rate your understanding of today's topic.' These polls effectively gauge the room's experience level and understanding, which you can content-cater to increase knowledge retention. Towards the end, you can also use a poll like, 'What's the most critical takeaway from today's session?' You'll not only reinforce learning but also provide your audience a chance to reflect on what they've picked up.
Keep the Energy Up with Winner Wheel
You ever notice how things can get a bit quiet during training sessions? Amp up the energy with the Winner Wheel. During your training, you can choose a winner based on participation. Maybe ask a question like, 'What's one benefit of regulatory compliance?' or 'Who can share a tip for managing compliance data?' Reward the first few who respond with a spin on the wheel. It'll keep them hitting that chat box and sharing more actively. Another fun use is choosing a winner randomly at the end for 'Best On-Camera Personality' to encourage those cameras on and smiles up. This keeps them engaged and adds a bit of fun into the training mix.
Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Last but definitely not least, bring some visual flair with Wonder Words. These are great for real-time feedback or gauging overall sentiment. Open with, 'What's the first word that comes to mind when you hear '[specific regulation]?' You'll build a word cloud of initial thoughts. During the session, this feature can summarize key points: after discussing a regulation part, ask, 'What's a key word to sum up this section?' Ending your session, a prompt like, 'What word describes your feeling about complying with today's regulations now?' not only provides an engaging look at attendee sentiment but also gives you a quick summary of how well the session performed. Visuals create a lasting impact on memory, so capitalize on that with these clouds.
Make Decisions a Breeze with Choice Circle
Power Polls are fantastic for getting quick feedback on complex topics. Say you're tackling several regulatory frameworks. Poll the group: 'Which framework do you deal with most?' or 'Rate your understanding of today's topic.' These polls effectively gauge the room's experience level and understanding, which you can content-cater to increase knowledge retention. Towards the end, you can also use a poll like, 'What's the most critical takeaway from today's session?' You'll not only reinforce learning but also provide your audience a chance to reflect on what they've picked up.
