3. Select the platform carefully

2. Select the platform carefully

Meeting platforms are designed for meetings and lack important features that help to create a training session with impact, such as breakout rooms, a large(r) variety of annotation tools and attendance indicators, to name a few. Each platform has different features, so it is essential to select carefully which one best matches the needs of your target audience and you as facilitator.

For instance, Zoom has excellent Webcam capabilities but WebEx has better annotation. In Adobe Connect, the trainer can open and prepare the virtual classroom beforehand. GoTo Training is very simple and intuitive. Be aware that this landscape changes constantly as existing platforms are being updated and new ones introduced.
