THE VIRTUAL & INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE
Have you ever attended PD and wished you could raise your hand to ask a question during the presentation?
That’s exactly what you can do when you attend our virtual & interactive workshops! We pre-record the sessions to offer you live, in-the-moment feedback throughout the entire workshop. A rare opportunity to communicate directly with the presenter and collaborate with other attendees!
Best of all, the chat log is included with your yearlong access to the workshop recordings!
“I liked the format of watching videos with the presenter in the chat answering questions in real time without having to interrupt the flow of the session. What a cool way to do it!”
