Design
• Not very different from BORs in Face-Face• Make it as interactive as possible – when it
makes sense to do so• Refer to participants’ guide or slide on
whiteboard for instructions• Don’t assign activities that encourage
participants to “go off on their own• Ground Rules

Instructions

simply before activity begins• Place instructions on whiteboard in the
room, and on the participants’ guide
