Icebreakers
In an online environment, human interaction does not just happen naturally. Your learners need a way to get to know each other. This is particularly important at the start of a course or if you only meet online.
How much time you can commit to an icebreaker?
One approach may be to have an icebreaker activity running just while you are waiting for everyone to join the room.
For example; you can ask attendees to say 3 things about themselves, two truths and one lie. Others have to guess the lie! or you can pair participants in chat and ask them to introduce each other.
