Hey there, MS Teams warriors! We all know how important it is to keep our audience engaged during live sessions, right? Especially during something like an RFI Training—an essential skill for any corporate setting. But let's be real, it can be a challenge to keep everyone's attention from drifting. The good news is, the more engaged your audience, the more they will learn and remember from your session. And believe it or not, StreamAlive's Interaction features can seriously up your engagement game. Let's dive into how you can keep your attendees not just present, but totally invested in your live session.
Put Them on the Map with Magic Maps
Let's start with Magic Maps, an absolute game-changer when it comes to getting the audience involved right from the get-go. Picture this: you kick off your RFI Training session with a simple, 'Where is everyone joining in from today?' As your participants type in their locations, Magic Maps will plot them on a real-time world map. You could also mix it up with questions like, 'Where would you travel to for your next big project?' or 'Which city do you think has the most innovative RFI processes?' Seeing their responses make the map come alive can instantly boost your attendees' excitement and engagement.
Hear Their Thoughts with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls offer a space for the audience to really express their views in a freer format. This can be great during RFI Training for getting feedback on how effective attendees feel their RFI processes are. Ask them, 'What single word comes to mind when you think of your current RFI process?' or 'What's one thing you wish could change in how RFIs are managed at your company?' As answers roll in, you can steer the conversation in new and meaningful directions, making sure everyone’s voice is heard.
Engage Them with Power Polls
Power Polls are a dynamic way to gauge opinions and get everyone thinking. Imagine you want to know which aspect of RFI needs improvement according to your audience. Launch a quick poll asking 'Which step in the RFI process do you find the most challenging?' Choices might include 'drafting', 'reviewing', or 'submitting'. Power Polls collect these responses in real time, showing instantly which option is the crowd's pick, and opening up a broader discussion based on those results.
Get Everyone Involved with the Winner Wheel
Now, onto the Winner Wheel—an awesome tool to add a fun twist to your session. Are some of your attendees more quiet than you'd like? Encourage them to speak up with the Winner Wheel. You might offer a small reward, like a coffee gift card, and randomly select winners from those who have commented. During an RFI Training, you could use it to motivate people to share their insights on recent RFI challenges they've faced or new techniques they're curious about. The anticipation of winning keeps everyone on their toes and eager to participate.
Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words
Finally, let's talk about Wonder Words. It’s an interactive feature that generates a live word cloud based on the audience's responses. During your RFI Training, you could ask, 'What's the biggest benefit you've experienced from an effective RFI?' or 'Name a key factor in successful RFIs.' As participants type their answers, you’ll see common themes emerge. This not only boosts engagement but also gives everyone a visual representation of ideas that can be a springboard for further discussion.
Let Them Decide with the Choice Circle
Power Polls are a dynamic way to gauge opinions and get everyone thinking. Imagine you want to know which aspect of RFI needs improvement according to your audience. Launch a quick poll asking 'Which step in the RFI process do you find the most challenging?' Choices might include 'drafting', 'reviewing', or 'submitting'. Power Polls collect these responses in real time, showing instantly which option is the crowd's pick, and opening up a broader discussion based on those results.
