ESRC/EPSRC IAA Online Engagement Training Opportunity

Information

As our projects move online we need to adapt our engagement practices, tools and processes. Through this interactive session you will explore how to take your engagement online. Discover how to find and connect with your audience and create an experience that goes beyond the average Teams meeting or Zoom quiz.

The session will use a mix of online tools, group discussion and presentation allowing you to explore and experience a range of online engagement.

You will learn to:

• get the most of your equipment at home
• identify the dominant models of online engagement
• understand the different platforms and how to make the most of them
• understand how to foster meaningful two-way dialogue online
• plan appropriate online evaluation for your engagement
• make online events accessible, safe and ethical
