 All right, so hello everyone and welcome to today's online workshop today's topic We'll be looking at how to facilitate or co-host an online workshop for the WordPress training team so Today's online workshop is about hosting online workshops. So it's a bit of an interesting topic But we seem to have many people here who are interested in Creating educational content for the WordPress community. So hopefully you'll find something valuable and informative in today's session All right, as we get started I have a question for everyone. How many people have Visited the learn.wordpress.org website so The learn.wordpress.org website, this is what the website looks like how many people have visited this site before You can leave a yes or no in the zoom chat here As an yes, recall yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay great All right, I think that's everyone. All right, everyone's been to the learn.wordpress.org site So I will just briefly mention we have four content types on the learn.wordpress.org website and Unfortunately, there's not an easy way to find the four contents on the homepage here If you click into any page You'll then see a menu by the top and we list our four content types here We have tutorials which are pre-recorded five to ten minute videos We have online workshops which have these live learning Interactive sessions usually about an hour long which people can sign up to and attend We have courses which are online courses self-guided courses people can work work through at their own pace And then we also have lesson plans lesson plans are for Teachers of wordpress who want to teach other people So they can print out these lesson plans take it to a class or a meet-up group and they can teach from that so Learn has four types of content and what we'll be looking at today are the online workshops So today's focus is the online workshop how people can facilitate and co-host online workshops So you've you're all attending this online workshop right now So everyone is being to one of these online workshops before But just to give an idea let me share this link with everyone here This is the online workshop page on the learn.wordpress website and I'm just going to read this explanation at the top here So online workshops are live sessions where you can learn alongside other wordpress enthusiasts They are a safe zone where you can come as you are develop new ideas explore issues ask questions Network of a shared interests exchange theories collaborate on work and thrive in uncertainty And what I want to pick up here is this phrase here. They are a safe zone where you can come as you are so the main goal of an online workshop is to create a safe space where anybody can come and Learn or even share their knowledge with other people So the key word is a safe space and that is the main responsibility of an online workshop facilitator and co-host So the facilitator co-host their main Responsibility is to create that safe space where people can come and learn about something or even share their knowledge about something Something ask questions network with other people all in a safe environment so As we look into the details of what an online workshop facilitator and co-host are keep in mind their main job is to create that safe space So we'll come back to that a bit later We're just going through this page. You'll see underneath Oh actually at the top we have two buttons here The first one is applied to facilitate and the second one is view recorded online workshops So we'll touch on this a bit later as well But in order to become a facilitator or co-host you have to first apply and Again, this ties into creating safe spaces. So the training team the WordPress training team vets applications to become facilitators and co-hosts just to make sure those people who are wanting to become facilitators or wanting to become co-hosts are People who can provide those safe spaces so Not so anybody can apply anybody can apply to become a Facilitator or co-host and the training team make sure those people who apply are people who Safety focus they they love the community. They want to make sure anybody is welcome and able to contribute to these online workshops The second button here links to recorded online workshops. So I'll quickly open that This takes you to a page on WordPress TV so all online workshop recordings or pretty much all recordings are uploaded here to WordPress TV and Stored there for eternity basically so that anybody in the future can come and watch these recordings You then come down and you see we have a calendar with upcoming online workshops The goal the ultimate goal the training team has is to have an online workshop running Every hour 24 hours seven days a week so that anybody could log on to learn WordPress at any time And there would be something going on where they can learn about WordPress You'll see we're not quite there yet So we are looking for more facilitators and co-hosts to help us achieve that dream of having continuous online learning Always there for people to come and attend So hopefully after today's session, you will be interested in joining as a facilitator and co-host as well All right, so you scroll a bit more down and there's an application form here to become a facilitator and What we're really looking at here If you scroll down it has your email address your username Your meetup comm user profile link, but the biggest box here is where can we find you online? Please share links to your websites and as many social media accounts as possible Such as Twitter link in Facebook Instagram, etc So what we want to look at is your activity online Before you apply so we look at your social activity and we want to just make sure you have already been Building safe spaces online with the people you interact with so It's not that we're not going to go through every one of your Twitter posts and every one of your Facebook posts and like check Everything but what we want to see is that you have had some activity in whatever community it is creating these safe spaces making it engaging and inviting to other people and Just to make sure you are able to do that here for the training team as well So we have a few more questions here and Basically, yeah at the bottom. It says you have to agree to Agree to the open source project volunteer expectations and code of conduct And this is basically talking about that safe space. Will you create this safe space? Make sure anyone is welcome anybody can join Etc. So That is the online workshop page on the learn WordPress website Which sort of gives you an overview of what we're going to be looking at today Let me pause there once. Does anybody have any questions so far before we dive into the details more? Okay, Ali, Sonia. Thank you. Thank you for the Oakley. All right So what we're going to be looking at today is the training teams and book So I'm going to copy this link and paste it in the zoom chat And I highly recommend your bookmark this page This page this this handbook the training team handbook has a lot of information You can have a look you can see the table of contents down the left in and I mean already that's almost like ten items And then each of them open up to show even more pages. So My recommendation is don't try to read through all the handbook at once. There's there's too much information there But when you start contributing to the training team, you probably will have some questions about different processes in the team So when that comes you can use the search box here to search for different how-to guides or different guidelines within the handbook So today I'll be walking through the online workshops section of the handbook You'll see we have a few pages here I won't be going through every single point in these pages But I'll be using this as a guideline and to explain to you what the facilitator and co-host roles are for online workshops All right So just making sure does everybody have Is everybody clear on what we're going to be doing today on the online workshops page? This is like an overview of what online workshops are You'll see. Thank you. Kavya feel a thumbs up You'll see we actually have a video here So I did today's session this online workshop topic yesterday as well and yesterday's online workshop recording is Embedded here in the handbook so in future if anybody comes along and wants to become an online facilitator There's a recording here walking through these processes for them All right But let's look at the pages a bit more so online locals we have first of all applying to facilitate We then have a page on planning an online workshop So this is about planning the content of the online workshop. We have scheduling an online workshop Steps to schedule a zoom meeting and then how to host the online workshop how to host it on the day a Page all for co-hosts on how they can co-host an online workshop and Then we have a resource page tools for hosting And then after an online workshop so after a workshop is done what? facilitators expected to do and then finally we also have reviewing facilitator applications so These ties back to the first page So I mentioned before online workshop facilitators and co-hosts first need to apply before they can facilitate And this is to make sure the WordPress project is providing a safe space for people So you'll see we have some different steps here for you to follow to apply But what's what I really like about the WordPress project is we also Publicly show what the review criteria is so the training team is open It and we already tell you how we're going to be reviewing your application So this This list Different steps about what training team administrators will do once they receive your application what processes they go through So if you're interested in becoming an online workshop, you can also have a look here to see how we're going to be looking at your application But basically what we're looking for is do you have experience providing safe spaces to people? Where they can come and freely share their questions without being judged Do you have that sort of presence already? So, yeah, that's that that is how to apply to facilitate Any questions about the application process, Tonya. Oh good. Thank you very much All right, so once you've applied it it depends It usually takes about a week to two weeks for the application to be cleared So if you're interested in getting involved, I suggest you make your application early so we can start that bidding process Once your application has been accepted next comes the planning an online workshop step so again this this This handbook page has a lot of steps here I'm not going to go through every one of them, but let me give you an overview of how this process goes so First of all online workshops You decide what format you want. So are you going to make it a zoom? Online meeting where people interact like this or you can also have text-based meetings So sometimes audio video Communication Isn't accessible to every type of facilitator some facilitators Might be better off with a text-based session Some attendees might be better off with a text-based online workshop and the training team is Open and welcome for people to try different formats in their online workshops So far, I think we found these zoom-based video conferences that is not easiest but I'd say the majority of online workshops of I have been this format and but we are definitely open to any other formats people are interested in I know Some people have used for example Google doc into Google Docs or Google spreadsheets In an online workshop. So everybody sort of edits the same documents at the same time Some people have used like an online sticking out session where people write things in a sticking out move them around and sort of have a brainstorming session Sometimes you have people who present slide and so it's like a formal presentation and then after The presentation is over they have a time for questions where people can answer the presenter different questions So they can ask the presenter different questions We have formats like I'm doing today where We go through a handbook process together We've also had a format where people build a WordPress site there live Jonathan you run sessions where you do coding live and so people can watch you code and how you go through that So really the format isn't setting stone like you can try any type of format you want as long as it's creating An environment for people to come and learn about WordPress The format is pretty open to any suggestions The only thing we ask is that the topic you use for your session is a vetted topic So What do I mean by that? We had a look before at the This page so the learn the learn WordPress website and we said we have four types of content For each of these content types the content creator first submits a topic And then we have a role called subject matter experts in the training team These subject matter experts confirm this suggested topic is indeed WordPress related It's valuable to the community and it's relevant to the community And they just make sure the topic is a topic worthwhile creating Once they say okay we view that topic as a vetted topic and then we create content on top of that So this process applies to lesson plans courses online workshops and tutorials A topic is first suggested it is vetted and then it is turned into an online workshop So how do you how do you suggest the topic and how is the topic vetted So This handbook page here lists a link to the training teams github project board And all the different issue templates we have here So you can either suggest a new topic and have that topic vetted Or you can choose from a topic that has already been vetted But hasn't had an online workshop created for So if you want to create a new topic and have that vetted We have a topic idea github issue template down here So you would click get started And then it has some different questions First of all what is your topic title What is the description so you can give a bit more information about that topic Who are your audience so is this online workshop going to be for users Is it going to be for developers is it going to be for contributors Who is your intended audience And then learning objectives What will the learner be able to do as a result of this content So for example for this online workshop I'm doing right now The learning objective may be attendees will be able to apply to become a facilitator or co-host Attendees will be have will be able to plan schedule and execute an online workshop So something people can do as a result of attending your online workshop And then it says content type so again we have four content types So you would list here which content type this topic is for So you can write online workshop If this is about the specific WordPress version and then you can type that version here And then finally will you be creating this content or not So hopefully this isn't too difficult It's almost like an outline of the online workshop you're going to be hosting So once you've filled all that out you can go down and submit the new issue And then this will this will and then the subject matter experts of the team will come and check this for you And they will see if it needs any modify But generally most of the topics we get suggested are accepted And then move on to the content development phase So that is the process you go to if you're wanting to do an online workshop on a brand new topic Let me pause there for a moment. Does anybody have any questions about that? And you gave a thumbs up Looks like we're all good Have you gave a thumbs up? Thank you Alright so that was if you're suggesting a brand new topic However you can also look through a list of topics that have already been vetted And create an online workshop on that And I'll show you how to do that next So coming back to this planning online workshop handbook page At the top here it links to the GitHub content development project board So let me close that window Alright so this is what the training team uses to track content development So at the beginning here we have a ready to create column And this column is a list of topics that have already been vetted And we're waiting for a content creator to turn into content So you'll see we already have 90 issues here People can choose any content These topics have already been vetted And a content creator can choose any of these and just start making the content Once a content creator starts making this it moves to the drafts in progress column And once somebody has created a draft it then moves into the review in progress column And then once it's in the review in progress The training team has editors who come and review the content Give feedback And we like to have two or three reviews for every piece of content before it is published So that helps the content creators too because it's easy to have typing mistakes in your content And the editors sort of check for that before it goes live And also sometimes you might get something wrong You might have misunderstood the concept Or maybe what you're talking about was true for WordPress For example 6.2 But an update has happened in 6.3 and so something has to change a bit in there So just having that review process makes sure all our content is up to date We try and get all of the bugs and mistakes out before it goes live And then finally once the content has been published It moves into the published or closed column So for online workshops you can choose any topic in the ready to create column And create an online workshop on that Or you can search for keywords here For example let's search for navigation block You can search for a keyword here And see if any issues pop up in the project book So you'll see how to create a menu with the navigation block tutorial How to create a menu with the navigation block lesson plan So we see the topic how to create a menu with the navigation block has already been vetted Somebody is making a tutorial for it here Somebody is making a lesson plan for it here And you can create an online workshop for that as well if you want The fact that this topic appears in this project board Means the topic itself has been vetted already So how to create a menu with the navigation block is a vetted topic So you can then turn that into an online workshop This section is a bit complicated so I just want to make sure everybody understands You can choose any topic in the ready to create and turn that into an online workshop Or you can find a topic that appears in any of these columns Which means it has already been vetted and turn that into an online workshop as well Does that make sense to everyone? Jonathan, yep Tanya, yes great So once you've chosen your topic So if you're suggesting a brand new topic You can start from the topic idea issue, a github issue template If you're choosing a topic that has already been vetted Then you can start with the online workshop template So if you're suggesting a new topic it has to be vetted first So you use the topic idea template But if you're choosing a topic that has already been vetted Then you can start with the online workshop template So let's open that template and see what it looks like Alright and the information here is pretty similar to the topic vetting template So you would put your workshop title in the top here For example how to create a menu with the navigation block Because that was already a vetted topic So you put the title here You'd write a description, a bit more explanation about what that topic is And then target audience So similar to the topic vetting this would be like Is it aimed at developers? Is it aimed at designers? Is it aimed at users? Is it aimed at community members? So you have your target audience Now you come to date Date, meetup.com, event link, co-host, etc And so this is where we jump back to the handbook Alright So we've been talking so far about planning an online workshop And this handbook page lists a few more steps for you What you want to choose at this stage is first of all what format your online workshop is going to be Is it tech based? Is it video based? Is it going to be a discussion? Is it going to be a presentation? And then you'll also choose your topic So if it's a new topic you'd submit that so it gets vetted If it's a pre-vetted topic you can just start creating the online workshop for it So that's planning an online workshop Once you've planned your online workshop We now move on to scheduling an online workshop And this is where you start thinking about the more specific details Like what date and time are you going to host this And so that ties into this section So date, the meetup.com, event link, etc Everybody who has joined today's session Probably knows all our meetup, all our online workshop All our meetup, all our online workshops Appear on the Learn WordPress meetup group So if you are a facilitator When you make the event You will come and add the event to meetup.com The other location the meetup shows up Is on the Learn WordPress website So on the website I showed you there's a calendar here with all our events A facilitator when they schedule their event They will also add it to this calendar So there are two locations you add your event to You add it to the Learn WordPress calendar And you add it to the Learn WordPress meetup.com group You need special access to do this But that access will be given to you At the beginning when you apply to become a facilitator So facilitators will be given access to meetup.com They'll also be given access to learn.wordpress.org And so they'll be able to add their events here And then the specific steps of how to add your event Is listed under this page Scheduling an online workshop So you'll see the topics are Create your event on meetup.com And add your event to the Learn WordPress calendar So I won't go into details But the steps are all listed out for you So you follow these steps to add your event to two locations Once they're added You come back to your GitHub issue And you list the date here And you list the meetup.com event link here So other people know this event has been scheduled So yeah, so that's planning an online workshop Then scheduling an online workshop Something I will mention So coming back to the meetup.com page When you joined this session today You probably clicked on the link that shows you The Zoom link that shows here So this is a Zoom link to the online event Zoom is a really good online conferencing tool It has a lot of features It has a lot of safety features as well So you can Catch inappropriate words in the chat You can block people or kick them out And different things like that Doesn't happen often But we do have some people who somehow get into our sessions And they don't follow normal guidelines regarding community So we do need those safety features However, Zoom only gives 40 minutes for free in a call So a lot of our online workshops are now along So that needs a paid Zoom account But what I want to mention is You don't need to pay for an account yourself The training team owns a paid Zoom account Which we can lend to online workshop facilitators When they host online workshops for the training team So even if you don't own a Zoom account You can reach out to a training team member And we'll be able to share the details with you Regarding a Zoom account And that information is listed in the next handle So the next one was steps to schedule a Zoom meeting These steps So these steps are for scheduling a meeting On the training team faculty's Zoom account So if you don't own a Zoom account Or you want to use Zoom for your online workshop We're here and ready to help Again, I won't go through all these steps here But we've listed out the steps you need to follow In order to schedule your Zoom meeting Zoom will give you a link Which you can then copy and paste into your meetup.com event So that when people come on the day They have a link they can click And join your meeting Alright, so we've covered Applying to Facilitate Planning an online workshop Scheduling an online workshop How to schedule a Zoom meeting Any questions so far? Looks good So now we finally get to Hosting an online workshop Sorry, one more thing I was going to say is It's good practice to have your online workshop Up scheduled and on this online workshop calendar As early as possible So for example If you put the event up on the loan workers calendar For a session that's starting in an hour Not many people are going to be able to see that event And sign up It's usually good to have the event up two or three weeks in advance So people can arrange their schedule And make sure they get there Me personally I do around four online workshops each month It's about the 15th of the previous month Where I look at my calendar for the next month And I plan out what online workshops I'm going to do And I try to add my events a month in advance So if you're going to Facilitate an online workshop for the first time Remember the application process takes about one to two weeks And then you want to have your event published One to two weeks before the event as well So you are looking at starting the whole process A month or so in advance So that's just a point I wanted to draw out there If you're brand new Then you want to get started on this process as early as possible Alright, so now Hosting an online workshop So you've scheduled the event You've planned the event You're finally hosting an online workshop And you'll notice In our hosting an online workshop page The very first thing we say is Work with a co-host So now I want to talk about the co-host role a bit So a co-host Is known as a moderator Or a buddy or a helper Can help your online workshop go more smoothly And then it says Please see co-hosting an online workshop For more details about the role of a co-host So the co-host I think is a very important role for online workshops When the training team started online workshops Facilitators usually did this alone And sometimes you have a quiet online workshop And it goes okay Because people get really enthusiastic and energized And you have lots of people asking questions in the chat And you have people unmuting themselves and asking questions And there's just a whole lot going on And so for some facilitators It got a bit overwhelming And so that's when we introduced the co-host role So a co-host does a few things What does a co-host do So a co-host does a few things First of all It's a Zoom waiting room So when you join today You probably know this It's a Zoom waiting room But me the host While I'm talking here and showing presentations And doing different things It's a bit too much for me to also keep an eye on the Zoom Waiting room and admit people when they join So I said My co-host today has been keeping an eye on that And letting people in when they join So that's a big help Another one Sometimes I might be talking about something Or I've shared a link Something about the Zoom chat Is people who join the Zoom chat afterwards Don't see what's gone on in the chat beforehand And so if I've shared an important link First and somebody joins after They don't see that link And so a co-host can then Re-share that link with the new people To make sure everybody knows what we're talking about And we're all on the same page Another thing the co-host can do Is make sure the host's audio Is coming through correctly And let the host know when they are not So so far today It looks like my audio and my video Are working smoothly But technical issues happen Lightning can strike And your computer dies Or you might have accidentally pressed mute And people can't hear you And so something the co-host can do Is just keep an eye to make sure Everything's going smoothly And if something isn't They can point that out to the host So something else they can do Is make sure the session is getting recorded Or respond to anything Meaning immediate action in the chat And then look for presented Look and present related information To what the speaker is talking about So the way online workshops are structured Is people can ask questions And answer each other's questions The facilitator doesn't have to know All the answers They don't have to answer every single question So if somebody asks a question In the Zoom chat While the facilitator is talking And the co-host knows the answer Then they can go ahead and answer That question for the user And share a link A relevant link with them So they can sort of help the facilitator By keeping an eye on the chat And providing information as needed And then we have a few more items here And I also wanted to point out The last one If an attendee does not follow the code of conduct Send them a warning In extreme cases If they do not modify their behavior After receiving a warning Then removing them from the workshop Maybe necessary So sometimes You can have someone Who gets really engaged With the topic And they start asking lots of questions Or whoops They start to dominate the conversation And take over from the facilitator When that happens A co-host can start a private chat With them in the Zoom chat feature So you may be aware Zoom chat, you can type a message To everyone all at once Or you can type to a certain person And so sometimes When there's a really energetic Active contributor like that If the co-host can engage In a private chat Or the co-host can engage In a private conversation With them in the Zoom chat They can channel that contributor's excitement In a productive way there Without interrupting the main facilitator And what they're doing So that is one thing The co-host can do And sometimes In extreme cases An attendee might do something That's inappropriate They might Add comments about someone Like a personal insult And that's not accepted In the WordPress community If somebody does that The co-host can point out And say That doesn't follow a code of contact Please refrain from comments like that A co-host is allowed to And is encouraged to say that If a situation like that happens Sometimes people don't follow that Like they don't follow that advice Or sometimes they just start Like showing inappropriate things On their screen Or start playing inappropriate audio In cases like this The co-host has the ability To remove that person From the online workshop I will say it's never happened To one of my sessions Maybe one in a hundred It's very rare It doesn't happen that often But when it happens Nobody is planned for it It happens suddenly A co-host just has that ability To make sure the place Is a safe space for anyone And if somebody tries to damage that safety Then the co-host has the ability To remove them from the workshop And that's why we vet co-host as well At the beginning I said You need to apply to become a facilitator But you also need to apply You are also responsible To keep that safe That online workshop space A safe space for the attendees So wow That sounds like a lot there But something I wanted to point out Is a co-host Doesn't need to know the topic Of the online workshop So for example If the topic is about WordPress APIs Or online workshops Or workshops about WordPress APIs I really don't know a lot about WordPress APIs But that doesn't mean I can't become a co-host For Jonathan's session The co-host doesn't need to know The topic about what's going on Again, their main responsibility Is to make sure the online workshop Is a safe space And it goes smoothly With as little technical problems As possible So if you find an online workshop That works for your time But you don't know the topic That's still okay We encourage you to come And join as a co-host For that online workshop Now There's a link we should add To this handbook page It doesn't exist here I'm going to share it with everyone In the Zoom chat But there is a way to find If you don't have a co-host right now So What's the best way to do that Let's come over here So I know this because I do this all the time But needs co-host There we go Alright, let me share this link With everyone in the Zoom chat And we should definitely add this to the handbook These are Online workshops That need a co-host Alright So if you click on that link You will see here We have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 online workshops And they have this label The needs co-host These online workshops All still need a co-host So if you're interested In becoming a co-host First of all Applying to become a co-host And then have a look through these GitHub issues to see Of course, online workshops happen In different time zones all throughout the day So you'll have to see Which sessions are hosted In a time that suits you But if you find one And your application to become a co-host Has been accepted Then Please, please Comment on the GitHub issue And say, I want to be a co-host for you I said I think you've co-hosted Almost 10 online workshops now maybe 8 8 So the more you co-host The more you get used to it I strongly encourage people If you're interested in facilitating But maybe it seems like a big jump Start by co-hosting So you can get The feel of what it means To work with a facilitator How it feels to Be part of the team To host an online workshop After you co-host a couple of times And get a bit more confident Then you can also start facilitating Your own systems Alright, so that was a lot of information About co-hosting online workshops Let me pause there Does anybody have any questions about that And you're all good I like these reactions Like thumbs up and the all good comment That helps me make sure What I'm saying is getting across the people Ali, thank you for your thumbs up Alright I'm going to skip over this one The tools for hosting I mentioned you can host an online workshop In different formats And this page gives you some tools You can use for your online workshops The last one I want to look at Is the after an online workshop Pample page So After a facilitator has conducted An online workshop There are three things we asked The facilitator to do The first one Is record the attendance So this is the manual process right now And there's a link to a Google spreadsheet here Which looks like this Everybody has access to this page And you'll see We have a record of all the online workshops That have been conducted this year Actually if you click over here You'll see all the online workshops That have ever been conducted We started in 2021 February 2021 it looks So we've been doing this for Two and a half years now The training team has been doing this For two and a half years So for each of these events Let's come to the very bottom here You'll see there's a date And then there's a meet up URL So that link is The link of the meet up event Up here You paste that in It then says language And so this is something else The online workshops Can be hosted in any language You'll see up here We have a couple of JAs This is short for Japanese Me and another contributor We try and host an online workshop In alternating months So there's a Japanese online workshop Happening every month For the community there And we'd like to see more languages Host online workshops as well So if you speak another language You're welcome to host You then type the topic And then over here we have Two columns RSVP And total attendees So RSVP is the number of people Who said they want to attend And you can get this By going to meetup.com And if you scroll down here Under the event you'll see 13 So 13 people signed up for this event And said they wanted to attend So once this session is done I will add 13 Under RSVP Then total attendees Is the actual number of people Who came to this event So I said how many Has been the number of people Who attended this time The highest number was today For 9 And the lowest was 7 The highest number was sorry How many? 9 9 people And you notice I haven't been keeping track of the attendees I said beforehand That he would keep track of how many people attended So he can help me To record this number So over here I'd write 13 Over here I'd write 9 And then the next one Is the WordPress.tv link So let me jump back to the handbook I mentioned these sessions are recorded And then the recording is uploaded To WordPress.tv That is the second thing you do After an online workshop is done You upload the recording to WordPress.tv Again we have steps For how you would do this But once you've uploaded the recording You would get that link from WordPress.tv And add that to the spreadsheet as well So not too difficult It's just to help us keep a record Of what online workshops have happened And how many people have attended So once you've done those two things The first thing is submit feedback About the experience So this is for the facilitator To share feedback of their experience Facilitating online workshops So how did the process go? Was it difficult? Was it easy? Are there any improvements you can suggest? For example I mentioned when we stuck We didn't have co-hosts But some people were saying In an online workshop And they sent us feedback That it would be great to have a co-host And so that feedback got implemented And now we have co-hosts In many of our online workshops And so the training team is open to feedback So once you facilitate a session Please send us feedback And we'd like to improve this process Even more And then finally We won't go into too much detail But I also want to draw your attention To the resources sector So so far we've been looking at The online workshop section We also have a resource section That applies to All the different content types The first one here Is the training team accessibility checklist So the training team We try to make all our resources As accessible as possible And recently we've Published a new accessibility checklist That will help you As you prepare for your online workshop Especially if you're going to Be using slides Or any other resources It's a good idea to look through This accessibility checklist first To make sure your slides are as accessible As possible for the people who will attend Another one we have here Is brand usage guidelines So in the training team When we create the content We don't promote Any brand So for example We don't do a lot of workshops That focus on one specific plugin We might do a workshop About creating a contact form But when we do We'll mention Here are three or four different plugins You can use to make a contact form We won't just focus on one We'll always try to mention multiple brands And this is to make sure We are fair to all People who contribute to the WordPress project So if you're going to facilitate the session Have a look to the brand usage guidelines as well And one more of the promotional guidelines So something we ask Online workshop facilitators Is this isn't a place For you to promote yourself This is a place where we We want people to learn about WordPress So Online workshop facilitators Are welcome to share For example like their social network links Their Slack accounts Details once Somewhere in the online workshop But this isn't a place For you to promote yourself So we don't want it flashing in the background I'm like come to my website Or buy my product So this page here Gives you a guideline Of what you can do And can't do to promote yourself Or your product You notice I promote the WordPress logo here On my Wapu collection You're free to promote WordPress Because that's what we're all about But if you want to share Your personal information And how people can connect with you Please have a look at these promotional guidelines Yeah So those are the additional resources I wanted to point out And that brings us to the end of the content I had prepared For today's online workshop Thank you all for listening Are there any final questions Or comments people want to slip in Before we finish off here Sonia has a thumbs up Thank you I said you have a comment Sure Thank you Hopefully today I've been able to share What an online workshop facilitator does And also what an online workshop Co-host does So yeah If you have any other questions If you're part of the WordPress Slack group Then you'll find me And other workshop facilitators In the training channel So you can access that If you don't have access To the WordPress Slack group You can also send Or in the event chat And I will be able to answer your questions there as well Alright Thank you very much for your time everybody Thank you for co-hosting I said And I look forward to seeing everybody In an online workshop in future Thank you for your time Have a good day You too Thank you
