If you are a trainer, then having immediate access to all the attendees is fairly important.

I'm in the process of "refactoring" my training approach to a videoconference approach (using Zoom).

I'm actually really surprised at how intimidating the process has been. I've been doing training and speaking in person for a long time, but not via Zoom.

It will work out, but the biggest issue that I'm encountering, is not having access to "immediate feedback."

A very good article on the topic was written by a well-known (and extremely effective) trainer, Erica Sadun, here: https://ericasadun.com/2020/03/11/so-youre-going-to-teach-re...

Virtually all my teaching is online, in a dedicated tool. Of course I used slides and approach to teaching that i inherited from previous teachers of the course - which includes heavy use of polling using the builtin easy polling feature of our online class tool (collaborate ultra).

Once i taught a guest lecture in zoom. I ended up using directpoll.com to approach the polling features I'd normally use. Lots of yes/no questions, easily asked and answered (always same url, can watch answers coming in), some exercises.

Extremely positive response. Simple, oft-used interaction truly is a game changer - even if limited to yes/no.
