Online dating is devoid of the trappings of body language. There’s no eye contact, subtle touching, preening etcetera, etcetera. As body language is the most reliable indicator of how others perceive us, it’s the cornerstone of effective communication. This premise is also common to teaching virtually. Here too, there is no eye contact, and little ability for the instructor to determine visually, if the class is lost, interested and or engaged. In an environment such as this, it can be a daunting task trying to deliver content overall, keep it engaging, all the while staying on track. Here are a few tricks of the trade you should use to ensure a successful teach.
- Own the content
- Command the Environment
- Lose the distractions
- Present in manageable bites
- Don’t skimp on equipment
- Location, present in a quiet one
- Be a student
- Have a personality
