Workshops & collaboration
Best practices and approaches for designing and facilitating collaborative working sessions and workshops.
Remote workshops
note
Working areas should have more space than you need
Whether your workshop runs in-person or virtual, participants need not only enough space to complete the activity, but just enough overflow space, just in case, without going overboard.

note
Remote workshop activity areas should fit into a zoomable area
