Hey there! We all know that keeping people engaged during a cultural competence training on Zoom can be a challenge. But let's be real—engagement is super important because it helps attendees absorb, remember, and apply what they learn. If you can keep your audience hooked, your session's impact will be massive!
Bring the World to Your Zoom Room with Magic Maps
So, imagine kicking off your cultural competence training by asking, 'Where is everyone tuning in from today?' With StreamAlive’s Magic Maps, you can have people type in their location in the chat box and see those places plotted on a real-time world map. You could also ask everyone to share a place that culturally impacted them the most, or dream travel destinations they've always wanted to visit. It's a fantastic way to visualize your audience's diversity and get everyone buzzing right from the start.
Dive Deeper with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls are a fantastic way to collect insights from your crowd. Throw in an open-ended question like, 'What's a cultural practice you'd love to learn more about?' Attendees can type in their thoughts which get displayed as part of your interactive poll. It's an excellent way for everyone to see the diverse perspectives and experiences of other participants, making your session more enriching as it progresses.
Keep It Interactive with Power Polls
Live polls during a session? Yes, please! Power Polls are great for gauging opinions or testing knowledge. You could ask attendees how familiar they are with different cultural practices at the start and end of your training. Or maybe ask them to vote on common cultural misunderstandings they’ve experienced. This not only breaks the monotony but lets you address points of interest in real time.
Get Them Talking with the Winner Wheel
Throughout your session, you might notice some folks getting a little too comfy in passive mode. That’s when the Winner Wheel comes in handy, a fun way to reward interaction! Maybe give a prize to someone who has shared an interesting cultural fact, or select a participant who’s been most active in discussing cultural dimensions. This keeps the energy high and motivates everyone to hop into that chatbox.
Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Word Clouds are like a splash of audience insight across your screen. During your session, pop in an open question such as, 'What's one word that describes your cultural identity?' As words come in, they grow bigger if more people use them. You can show common themes in a visually engaging way. Other times, you might want to gather feedback on the most memorable parts of your training—these word clouds will capture it all. It's instant, it’s visual, and it’s impactful!
Make Decisions Fun with Choice Circle
Live polls during a session? Yes, please! Power Polls are great for gauging opinions or testing knowledge. You could ask attendees how familiar they are with different cultural practices at the start and end of your training.
