Breakout Room Feature that allows individuals or small groups to share information in a larger synchronous session. Breakout rooms are ideal for training sessions in which separate teams or groups can share specific content. Students can be assigned to individual breakout rooms in order to complete a self-paced exercise or assessment. Team competitions can be conducted. The instructor can work with groups or individuals on an as-needed basis.
Different groups can work with different content or on different exercises.
If there are differing levels of expertise in a class, a program can be divided and different instructors can moderate the breakout rooms. The synchronous equivalent of a traditional flipchart, allowing instructors and participants to post ideas. Images can be placed on prepared whiteboards ahead of time or pasted on the fly. Use a whiteboard for anything you would use a flipchart or marker board in a traditional classroom setting. Expectations can be captured at the beginning of a class and revisited at the end of the program.
