Zoom Training
Since the beginning of lockdown we have helped over 100 people stay connected over Zoom!
Online video chat platforms are quickly becoming a way to stay in contact from the comfort and safety of your own home. Zoom is one of the most popular video chat platforms. Community groups, teachers, colleges, counsellors and friends are increasingly using it to keep in touch. It is being used to run workshops, choirs, discussions and even pub quizzes!
To help everyone get involved, we ran Zoom classes that help local residents and groups develop their skills, build their confidence and benefit from new technologies.
Our introductory classes were designed to give people an opportunity to learn and practice the basics of Zoom, as a group and without pressure! Helping people stay in contact with their loved ones and take part in online activities while keeping safe at home.
Our advanced classes gave a practical, hands-on guide through the key points and top tips in managing a Zoom meeting with the opportunity to experience more advanced features and explore what Zoom has to offer.
At the end of every class, people had the chance to ask questions, whether a first timer or more specific questions about the different features – no question is too basic!
The Zoom sessions were really useful in helping to navigate around Zoom – I did two sessions – one of which was an introduction and the second about helping to think about how to host a virtual meeting. It was immediately useful as I had to run a virtual meeting with 17 participants… We were encouraged to participate and ask questions and learn from each other. Thank you for the session – it was really helpful in these new digital times and it has helped me gain skills and confidence with new (to me) technology.
