38. “Can You Please Repeat the Question?”
What’s wrong with multitasking?
Do you check email in face-to-face meetings?
Do you check email more often when others are remote?
Why do you attend meetings when you only partially listen?
Is it preferable for some people to be together, others remote?
How do you engage remote people
“I pay more attention
when everyone else is together? when there’s
something on screen.”
What is multitasking doing to our brains? —Senior Director

41. Preparing for the Virtual Meeting
• Schedule practice sessions
• Use the Storyboard Template to create a detailed agenda for
use by presenter, facilitator, and host
• Send invitation to attendees well in advance
• Set up the room: Prepare and upload all content items
beforehand; makes meeting flow
• Practice, practice, practice!!!
• Rehearse, rehearse, and rehearse!!!
42. Creating Your Agenda & Presentation
• Draft Agenda with timing for each section; duplicate and insert at beginning
of each section
• Add conference call information to presentation title slide that starts virtual
meeting
• Be sure to include Introductions: Facilitator, host, and their roles; name(s) of
presenter(s) include photo, biography
• Create Visual map of Committee Members (with pictures)
• Reiterate Norms such as muting phone, how you’re using chat
• Notify participants as to whether sessions are being recorded
• Point out where, how to access supplemental materials and handouts
(i.e., NEA-Committees Groupsite)
• Remind people who to contact for technical support during session
43. Agenda & Presentation continued
• Insert “Any Questions?” slide into your presentation after each major section.
– Reminds you to stop to encourage participation
• Engage Participants at least every ten minutes
– As for feedback, use text chat, hand raising or Q&A
– Best times for feedback is at beginning or end of new topic or section
– For an hour long meeting, preload six polls with appropriate questions.
• Schedule Breaks: If meeting is longer than an hour, schedule a 5-minute break mid-
way through
– For longer meetings, take break at 45 minutes
– Ask participants to do an exercise or activity during the break
– Start meeting again on the hour and have participants report on break exercise or activity
• If your PowerPoint file is large, break it up into two or three smaller files
– 10 MB is rough size limit for PowerPoint files that can be loaded into virtual meeting room
47. And Be Sure To...
40 minutes before event start 30 minutes before event start
• Use restroom • Join session room
• Fill water bottle • Turn on audio
• ChapStick® • Confirm all files loaded, properly
• Cough drops linked
• Turn phone to silent mode. 15 minutes before event start
• “Do Not Disturb” sign on door • Greet early participants
• Photos (map) of participants near • Start sound checks
by • Chat with early participants
48. Now Start the Meeting!
• Greet each participant as they join
• Remind people to:
– Mute phones (when not talking)
– Never use hold
– Do use teleconference commands to minimize background noise
– Log in with both first and last names to avoid name confusion
• Inform people if call is being recorded
– Note: People speak more freely if not recorded
• Remember: Have all login information ready to email to those
who’ve misplaced it!
50. Set/Reiterate Ground Rules:
Some Common Ones
• No sidebar conversations
• No multitasking (e.g., running e‐mail while participating in the
virtual meeting)
• Everyone says name each time they speak
• Use of “mute” technology as per group agreement
– Most groups prefer that non‐active speakerphones be muted to
minimize extraneous noise/feedback
• Agree on how to use chat and hand-raising
51. Set Participation Expectations
at Beginning
• Explain whether expecting lots of participation or if mainly
information-only call
• With smaller group, people probably able to just speak up
• With medium-size group (fewer than 30), ask people to use
Raise Hand or Chat to speak or ask questions
• When using PGi Event Services for large groups, remove Raise
Hand option; use phone queue only for questions
• For logistical issues, encourage participants to use email (for
LiveMeeting) or private chat (for Adobe Connect) to
communicate with you individually as host
52. Simple Pointers to Increase Participation
• Meet (virtually) with as many participants as possible prior to
meeting for practice sessions
• Arrange for multiple presenters
• Separate roles of presenter, facilitator, host
– Facilitator monitors and introduces hand-raising; presenter responds
• Address frequent, clearly worded questions to specific
people; wait for responses
– Use preformatted slides with questions as necessary
– Use pre-loaded polls to obtain responses
– Acknowledge each response insofar as practical
– Reveal prepared answers to questions after people have responded
53. Prompt Participant Interaction
At Minimum Every 10 Minutes with Polls
• Use polls to get feedback, vote, test knowledge
• You may be able to share results immediately with
participants or save for later analysis
• Prepare up to 6 polls in advance for a one-hour meeting
• Pre-populate polls
54. Closing and Follow-up
• Restate and confirm conclusions drawn from the meetings.
• Conduct meeting evaluation using + / ∆ method
– Capture this information to share with other Committee Staff Liaisons
– Helps us to learn together as we go forward
• Thank you to speaker(s) and participants
• Follow-up immediately (within 48 hours) with meeting notes and action
items, next steps, assignments, and tasks to complete
– Include link to the NEA Committee Groupsite
– Put link to recording on the Groupsite and with any materials.
55. And Remember the Importance of Trust
Trust is confidence in, reliance on
integrity, strength, ability, and surety of someone else
Importance of trust cuts across virtual team’s life cycle
Media
Every team needs trust to start
Interactions
Trust provides grease for ongoing hard work of team
Team leaves behind a legacy of trust (or not)
Trust is the lifeblood of 21st-century organizations
56. Strategy for Success at a Distance
80% People + 20% Technology
Myth Reality
Meeting virtually is about using Meeting virtually requires understanding
right technology people, culture, organization, and
collaboration

Notas del editor
It often takes time to appreciate the full impact of a particular innovation or technology. In the case of the Web, we still have a long way to go before we understand the ways it is changing how we work and play. One aspect of it, however, in relation to the way we work together, is becoming clearer. When many of us were introduced to workplace technology in the 1980s, the emphasis was on personal productivity using word processing and other office tools. In the 1990s, we got office networks, and e-mail became the norm for distributing and sharing information among workers. Collaboration support was primarily in terms of communication. Web technology and the browser were used at the same time by many organizations internally, but these were about distributing information to employees (intranets) and about access to applications (enterprise portals), not about collaboration support. The past few years have already begun to see the arrival of some new technologies — often led by end users — such as blogs, wikis, and social networks to support collaboration in a more open and flexible way. We believe that these Web applications have a common architectural heritage (being Web-oriented) that promises to change again the way we collaborate: from sharing resources created using our personal tools, to working directly on the same resources, in place, in the same context, and in a way that captures and reflects all interactions with these resources and with each other.
