Small Group BreakOuts with Lync Online (ETS Snack Edition)

…click the image to play the video…
Using Lync Online for small group break out sessions can be accomplished with a little planning.  This video will take you through setting up small group sessions while engaging in a large group meeting.  It’s a little more clunky than similar experiences with tools like Adobe Connect… However, it does work and works pretty well.

Watch the video and plan for the following:

  1. Get a general idea of how many folks will be in the large group.
  2. Decide how many small groups you will want to break into.  You may also consider planning ahead for an additional +1 group just in case.
  3. Decide and plan AND communicate exactly how much time and EXACTLY what you want to small groups to do, think through, etc.
  4. Give exact times of when you want folks to jump back into the large group digital meeting session.
  5. Plan to jump in each small group at least once so participants know you care … paste the large group meeting URL in each small group space so participants can easily jump back to the large group space.
