Hey there, fellow session hosts! We all know that getting your audience engaged during a live session is like hitting the jackpot. You want those folks to not just attend, but really tune in, ask questions, and leave with more knowledge in their minds and new skills in their arsenal. That's especially true for something as crucial as Anti Money Laundering (or AML) Training on MS Teams. If your participants are just zoning out, they're missing the good stuff that can make a huge difference in their work. So, let’s spend some time exploring how using tools like StreamAlive can turn a standard training into a session that they won’t easily forget.
Kick off with Magic Maps
Imagine starting your AML training with a simple, "Where in the world are you connecting from today?" You'll use StreamAlive’s Magic Maps to light up a world map with real-time locations of your attendees. It gets them typing and chatting right from the get-go. But don’t just stop there. Pose questions like “What exotic location do you associate with international finance?” or “List a country you're curious about its AML regulations.” This not only makes them think globally but also shares varied perspectives, setting the stage for a session all about understanding international AML practices.
Gather Thoughts with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls are your ticket when there isn't a strict set of choices. Pose broad questions related to recent AML challenges your attendees have faced this year. Watch as opinions roll in, displaying the diversity of insights within seconds. This not only creates a sense of community but also enlightens everyone with varied viewpoints—all while reinforcing that training is relevant and tailored to those who are listening.
Power Up with Live Polls
AML training often involves dwelling on multiple approaches—why not let your attendees weigh in with some Power Polls? Shoot a quick "How aware are you of our AML policies on a scale of 1 to 10?" right as the session kicks in, and adjust the rest of your content based on these inputs. Later, follow up with more specific polls like "Which aspect of AML do you feel is most critical in your daily roles?" This captures insights and keeps the flow interactive. Plus, when people see live stats reflected in real time, it hooks their attention on the larger group dynamic.
Spin and Win!
Who doesn’t get a little excited at the chance to win something, right? With the Winner Wheel, you can sprinkle fun throughout your session. Say during AML training, after discussing a complex concept, encourage everyone to comment their questions or insights in the chat. Use the wheel to reward those who participate by selecting random winners for small prizes or recognition. It nudges more folks to dive in and engage, knowing they might just get a lucky draw moment. It’s a wonderful way to keep the chat buzzing with activity and questions.
Create a Visual Buzz with Wonder Words
Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that pack the biggest punch. Wonder Words can turn the audience's words into art. During your AML session on MS Teams, prompt the audience with, "What’s one word that comes to mind with money laundering?" As they type away, you’ll see a real-time word cloud forming, dominated by common themes. Later, use this to reinforce discussions around heavily highlighted terms, encapsulating real-time sentiment and ensuring these crucial concepts stick. It's a neat visual hook and a fun reflection of group sentiment.
