Upskill for Impact: Promising Practices for Working Virtually
January 26, 2023
Join us this winter for a Hybrid learning program
Continuing with IONS Upskill for Impact sessions in community, we’re excited to host our next program. Promising Practices for Working Virtually is a 7-week hybrid program designed to support participants in working with virtual tools and teams. Participants will experience the impact of collaborative and engaging virtual tools and promising practices for meetings and short-term engagements. The latter lessons will explore virtual tools and promising practices internally within an ongoing team. The program aims to integrate relational practices to build connection, trust, and engagement. Participants will practice designing a session using a Learning Design Canvas, identifying methods and tools to maximize connection and engagement.
