The course was very good. It has given me some things to think about and how I structure my feedback meetings. I now know using emoji's is not recommended when giving written fb

Good course; lots of time to think and reflect and discuss which is always good.

Good course, covered a lot of material in the time. Very interactive and enjoyable. A subject ideally suited to on-line delivery

Well structured and paced

I enjoyed the training session, and found a lot of the information useful. I think the only thing that would have been better would be if these sessions were also suitable for Mac users e.g. providing alternative options for Mac users when explaining things and ensuring there are ways for Mac users to benefit from using the material provided in sessions.

EXCELLENT ONLINE COURSE, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER ON A FACE TO FACE BASIS, BUT THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE.

The course had a nice flow. I am not sure if it needed to be an all day session, but that may depend on the individual and their experience of the subject. I was possibly expecting to receive greater guidance how to structure minutes, but what I learned was that there are different approaches. That in itself was helpful as I already take minutes for Board meetings so it was encouraging to know that I am not doing anything particularly wrong, but there are different styles and ways of writing and presenting them and it is personal to each organisation, the Chair and the focus and purpose of the meeting.

The previous course I attended the instructor done a demo while we watched and then gave us the opportunity to practice, which worked really well as we could write notes at the same time. This time we were watching and doing at the same time so was not able to take it in as I felt I was rushing to keep up an do and watch at the same time.

My lower scores above are based on the speed of the training - I found it was too fast in lots of places. By the time I had found where I was supposed to be looking on screen, I had missed bits. It was also too fast to give me time to take adequate notes. In spite of the fact that I've been using Teams for meetings for quite a long time, I very easily get lost in terms of looking at different windows. I find it one of the least intuitive systems I've ever used - I'm usually pretty good, but am finding this one so hard to master!! Christine was excellent at involving everyone, and at answering questions.

I enjoyed the day thank you!
