Interactive tools for online events have been of great help to organizers, mainly due to the fact that online events are increasingly in evidence on the market.
And the issue of interactivity is one of the great doubts raised by the organizers regarding this type of event.
After all, how is the interaction between speaker and attendees in these events? And among the attendees themselves? Would that be possible?
Precisely to reassure the organizers and show that interaction can indeed happen efficiently at online events, there are interactive tools for online events.
In addition, it is also possible to manage these exchanges of knowledge between the audience, organizers and speakers, using some strategies throughout the event.
Interaction strategies for online events
Mediation of questions
Analyzing some online events that happened on our platform we realized that one way to stimulate interaction and also answer questions from the public is by mediating questions.
This can be done, for example, at the end of a speaker’s presentation.
You can delegate a person to the function of ”mediator”. The mediator of the lecture must follow all the content, at the time it is made available to the public.
In Even3, you can enable a per-activity or general chat for the event. In the specific case of the chat for activities, this mediator will collect feedback and questions from attendees during the lecture.
At the end of the presentation, the mediator must give these messages to the speaker, who can answer both via chat and also via video, if it is being streamed live.
This is a good solution to generate more interactivity, which does not depend on extra or paid tools to run. It is enough for the organization of the event to arrange and let everything planned in advance.
How to make the event interactive?
But what if, in addition to using chat to mediate questions, you could use tools to further increase interactivity during the online event?
Some interactivity tools for online events bring several options to make the event interactive. Multiple choice questions and use of quizzes on specific topics to measure knowledge and assimilation of content are some of these options.
Before getting to know them, I would like to give you two tips regarding the use of these tools.
First, you need to be careful not to overuse them during the presentation, so that there are no constant interruptions in the content.
Another important point is to be very careful when designing the questions so that they are very clear to the attendees.
Knowing the best way and the time to use them is very important, otherwise the result with the audience may not be so favorable. But if you use them consciously, I assure you: they can revolutionize your presentation.
