I recently participated in a Thought Leader webinar hosted by The eLearning Guild. The title of the session was “What Is the Backchannel, and How Does It Enhance Learning Experiences?”
This blog post is being set up a follow-up resource for those that attended. It may also serve as a resource for anyone that wants to learn more about backchannels, including how to participate and support one.
