In EVC, I differentiate between these nine different types of virtual conversations across the ecosystem:
- Mentoring
- Coaching
- Peer Learning
- Team Development
- Goal Setting
- Video Based Learning
- Education – Webinars, Webcasts, Formal Learning, MOOCs
- Meetings
- E-Learning
What are the different types of virtual conversations you are engaging in? Are they synchronous – real time – or asynchronous – when the conversations take place at different times?
Chapter 4 of Effective Virtual Conversations dives more deeply into the different types of virtual conversations which exist.
Regardless of the type of conversation we are having, many of the same skills and practices underpin all of these. Last week I delivered a national webinar series for the Institute for Performance Learning and covered the 8 skill sets that underpin virtual conversations including:
- Creating the Context
- Communication
- Process
- Tools
- Group Development
- Ourselves as Facilitators
- Technical
- Design
What are the skills which are important for you to develop further to enhance your conversations?
For more on these skills, check out the Daily Reading Series I hosted during April and May of this year covering off chapters 1-3 of the book. You can listen in here at the Effective Virtual Conversations Blog.
Enjoy!
