Two display monitors (or a second screen – i.e., a tablet) are highly recommended for virtual sessions: one for joining the virtual classroom & the other for accessing digital workshop materials.

We do not recommend using a smartphone to access digital workshop materials due to the small screen size.

  • Lighting to ensure projector and easel work is legible to all and participant materials are also legible, preferably lighting that can be dimmed in front but remain well-lit in participant work area
  • Ventilation, air conditioning or heating adequate to ensure comfort during the sessions.
  • Exclusive use evening prior to seminar through last day of program
  • Minimal distraction from outside noise
  • Adequate wall space for posting easel sheets, at least 2 of 4 walls suitable for this purpose
  • Rest rooms nearby to accommodate the number of participants for all training sessions to be conducted.
  • Tables arranged in a “U” shape, providing unobstructed view of the overhead screen and easels.
  • Enough chairs to accommodate all the participants. Chairs should be comfortable, preferably with armrests.
  • Small table and a chair at the front of the room for the instructor’s use.
  • Table along one of the walls to store materials.
