What good does it do participants when the trainer shows he/she can do it? The real measure of impact is whether the lesson is caught and applied by the audience. Breakout rooms are a tool to help you facilitate peer learning and make your job as a trainer easier. Becky’s rule of thumb is never do for participants what they can do for themselves—even in a virtual classroom. The more active they are in their learning, the more they remember and ultimately apply.

During this free 1-hour webinar, you will:

• Discover when to use breakout rooms and how to do it effectively
• Discuss common objections from presenters and participants—and how to overcome them
• Explore how you can add a variety of exercises to keep breakout rooms engaging
• Experience effective breakout room learning activities live on Adobe Connect
