It was a great day at the Members’ Meeting on 2nd March with some great sessions on winning appraisals; effective communication; 
virtual classrooms; and Learning Needs Assessment. A big thank you to all the presenters for sharing their valuable advice and experience!
We hope you managed to catch up with each other, network and touch base with your account manager too. Thanks to all of you who came along and also to those of you who gave us your valuable feedback – if you can think of anything, or anyone you would like to see at the next session or would like to provide a presentation from your organisation, please email Harri at hleclaire@charitylearning.org.
Here are some of the slides and ‘takeaways’ for those who attended and also for those of you who couldn’t make it this time– we hope you will join us next time. You can book onto the next Members’ Meeting on 22nd June here.

Jo Cook, Lightbulb Moment
Take the leap from face to face, to virtual learning
Planning a session for live online learning is very different to planning for the delivery of face to face training, especially as you’ll be working with people you can’t see! In this session, virtual classroom designer and facilitator, Jo Cook, shared everything you need to know to assess what method is best for each session, and how to use methodology to make the appropriate changes.
