Hey there, live session host! We all know keeping your audience engaged on MS Teams can be a bit tricky, especially during those long upskilling and reskilling workshops. But trust me, your session's success depends on it. Active engagement spikes learning, aids knowledge retention, and makes your session memorable. So, are you ready to learn some cool ways to interact with your audience using StreamAlive's features? Let's get you set up for a 9x engagement boost!
Put Your Audience On the Map!
Magic Maps is your go-to feature to kick-start engagement right from the get-go. You can ask your audience, 'Where are you joining us from today?' or 'What's a place that inspires your career development journey?' This sparks interest and immediately gets folks typing and sharing. When people see themselves on a world map, it creates a sense of belonging and community. If you're discussing global industry trends, consider asking, 'If you could visit any city to learn more about their tech innovations, where would it be?' Not only does this lead to interesting conversations, but it visually connects your audience, making them feel part of a global learning network.
Get the Crowd's Take with Opinion Polls!
Use Opinion Polls to dive a bit deeper and get open-ended feedback. You might ask, 'What's one skill you think every professional should focus on in 2023?' This allows for a variety of responses and brings in diverse perspectives, helping everyone learn something new. You can also use this feature to get feedback at the end of your sessions, asking, 'How can we make our next session even better?' This not only helps you improve but shows attendees you value their input.
Make Decisions Quick with Power Polls!
Power Polls are awesome for gauging opinions and guiding your session. Ask something like, 'Which new skill are you most interested in mastering?' Present options such as data analysis, project management, or digital marketing. Participants just have to vote, making it super easy and fast. This helps tailor your content on the fly to match the audience's learning interests, which is crucial for keeping them interested and enhancing their learning experience.
Spin to Win and Keep the Energy High!
The Winner Wheel is a fantastic way to keep your audience on their toes. You can use it after a lively chat discussion by randomly selecting someone to receive a small prize for their participation, like an e-book on career growth or a spot in the next advanced workshop. Or, get creative by spinning for who will answer the next question or present an idea. This randomness not only gamifies the experience but encourages everyone to stay engaged for their chance to shine.
Capture the Buzz with Wonder Words!
Wonder Words is perfect for summarizing thoughts or feelings about work-related trends. Ask attendees, 'In one word, how do you feel about the future of your career?' or 'What's the most important thing you've learned today?' Watch as a word cloud forms, highlighting the most popular answers. This feature is a fantastic way to capture the collective vibe of your audience, and it acts as a creative self-reflection tool. Plus, it looks pretty cool on-screen!
