Here are some ideas - Interactive Elements- 1. Gamification: Incorporate game-like elements, such as quizzes, challenges, or rewards, to make the training more engaging. 2. Breakout rooms: Use virtual breakout rooms to facilitate group discussions, role-playing, or problem-solving activities. 3. Live polls: Conduct live polls to gather feedback, encourage participation, and spark discussions. Visual Aids- 1. Interactive whiteboards: Utilize digital whiteboards to create interactive, visual content, such as diagrams, flowcharts, or mind maps. 2. Videos and animations: Incorporate short videos, animations, or GIFs to illustrate complex concepts, break up content, and add visual interest.

Make your e-learning look less dull if the virtual training is dull. Use these ideas. 1. Get Started with Interaction: Live polls (Slido, Mentimeter) or quick quizzes can get the attention. 2. Media Time: Include short videos and visuals that add life to a session. 3. Invite Participation: Get the attendees to learn practically by conducting breaks and role plays. 4. Gamify the Learning Process: Give points, use leaderboard or scenario-based challenges. 5. Maintain Short & Engaging: Use high-impact, small-sized content. Example: Engagement was 40% higher in a cruise hospitality session with the use of breakout rooms for role play.

Few things that I have seen working for virtual training. 1. Having a camera on should be encouraged rather mandated during training. It will help them to focus and avoid any physical distractions 2. Bake in quizzes /case studies 3. Ask for participants' Point of view or any experience they would like to quote from their workspace. -It opens up room for discussions and interaction. 4 Create some hustle. Have some breakout room activities

Warm up at the beginning - use questions, quizzes Frequent pause and ask questions to create engagement in a chat Consider story telling vs classroom teaching Less slides and knowledge - more real life example with emotional connection (it’s the best way to make people remember)

One should make the session interactive by incorporating polls, quizzes, and real-world case studies to spark engagement. Using storytelling, humor, and dynamic visuals keeps participants interested. Encouraging discussions, gamification, and personalized learning paths also make the session more immersive and relatable.
