A master class on this topic within the framework of the Excel and Elevate program was held by the Interra project coordinator Anastasia Mokrushina (Krasoyarsk).

During the lecture, Anastasia told about the online cases of the Interra project. Among them are live broadcasts on Instagram, VK, google meets in order to stay in touch with project participants and friends of Interra, share news, as well as the TEDx conference, which had to be moved from offline to online.

– What experience have we learned from conducting online events? As in offline, people need pauses; online events should be shorter in time than similar offline ones; thematic collaborations and partnerships work well – Anastasia Mokrushina said.

The speaker gave advice on how to conduct online trainings, and told about long-term online programs that require a special approach.

At the webinar, participants shared their experience in organizing online educational events, and were also able to practice using interactive tools to engage the audience and get feedback.

At the end of the master class, the students together, using an interactive whiteboard, compiled a checklist “How to make an online event comfortable for themselves and for the participants”.

This approach will help you feel more confident when transferring work to online, will increase the motivation to try something and implement it into your activities.

– I wish you to love online as much as I love it, – Anastasia Mokrushina summed up. – This is a great opportunity to make high-quality educational programs!
