Unprecedented series of e-meetings: more than 100 experts already on board in January 2025
The COLEAD Training Department has embarked on a major transformation in 2025 with the launch of a series of innovative information sessions, available in English and French. These sessions aim to strengthen the skills of trainers by providing them with concrete tools to enrich their teaching practice and to fully exploit the potential of digital technology in distance learning.
The first session, dedicated to BigBlueButton, marked the launch of this ambitious initiative. Designed to replace Zoom and other videoconferencing solutions by March 2025, BigBlueButton provides an optimised environment for online teaching.
During these sessions, 103 trainers (52 English-speaking and 51 French-speaking) explored this tool and perfected their techniques to make their courses more interactive and effective. The feedback was very positive. To take things a step further, a ‘sandbox’ was set up to allow participants to train under real conditions and deepen their mastery of BigBlueButton.
Next steps
This momentum will continue with a series of 10 exclusive e-meetings throughout 2025, each session lasting a maximum of 2 hours.
Next session:
📌 Basecamp, a collaboration tool
📅 Thursday 20 February 2025 at 11:00 UTC/GMT
Other topics will be defined according to the needs of the participants. Your suggestions are welcome!
