Challenges during COVID times

  • general hesistancy to ask questions
  • No emotional feedback from remote trainings
  • Low bandwidth is hurting us more than ever

  • not able to have time with journalists to be able to train beneficiaries because of competing events
  • Hard to have the attention of participants because they are generally doing something else
  • Overwhelming requests of assistances

Overcoming challenges

  • Asynchronous learning experience through either chats or coaching sessions
  • Using a mentorship model: providing video links as a lesson and using mentorship time to coach or troubleshoot
  • Making trainings bearable using: Jamboard, mentimeter, mentorship approach, Excalidraw
