The 3-part Virtual Excursions training program supported by Inspiring Australia’s state programs and the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer has been a great success, with hundreds of STEM event presenters joining from across Australia and around the world.
Participants learned from experienced online engagement experts how to select the most appropriate technology and make use of interactive elements, how to plan and design online science engagement content, tips and tricks to keep diverse audiences engaged and why partnering can deliver improved outcomes for all.
A PDF training manual covering highlights from each of the training Modules as well as audience feedback is available to registered participants.
