<p>Hi Michaela</p>

<p>Just a couple of suggestions in order to be inclusive of persons with disabilities with sensory impairment ( visual and hearing particularly). This does not apply only in this instance of looking at ToC but in any webinars you may want to organise.</p>
<ul>
<li>First and foremost, as a good practice, always check in advance what the accessibility needs are for your participants</li>

<p>Just a couple of suggestions in order to be inclusive of persons with disabilities with sensory impairment ( visual and hearing particularly). This does not apply only in this instance of looking at ToC but in any webinars you may want to organise.</p>
<ul>
<li>First and foremost, as a good practice, always check in advance what the accessibility needs are for your participants</li>
<li>for persons with visual impairment, relyign on the visualisation of post-its can be insufficient. an easy way to mitigate, is to make sure the facilitators reads clearly everything which is written. </li>
<li>for persons with hearing impairment , you may need someone to summarise the points made verbally in a chat room and give them space to answer.</li>
<li>for persons with intellectual impairment, and this can be costly unfortunately, having a good illustrator has proven very helpful and successful.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope this helps. Thank you for sharing!</p>

<p>Hello Rituu, </p>
<p>Thank you for the excellent questions! The workshop as such took about two hours and a half. This worked because the participants in the room were fully aware of sharing the virtual space with those outside of the room, and kept their interventions brief. We also had the impression that all - or most - participants had studied the draft ToC before the workshop.</p>

<p>Hello Rituu, </p>
<p>Thank you for the excellent questions! The workshop as such took about two hours and a half.

We also had the impression that all - or most - participants had studied the draft ToC before the workshop.</p>
<p>One aspect I did not mention in my post was the technical one. The organisation that hosted the meeting had appointed a staff member to set up the call. We (the external facilitators) assumed we did not need to brief him on technicalities. He turned out to be unfamiliar with conference calling, and someone's contact details were missing. We ended up starting 10 minutes late. Learning point: Next time we will gently remind the hosts of testing the platform beforehand, making sure everybody's contact details are clear, and setting up the audio/video conference a few minutes before its official start time. </p> I enjoyed reading it.

<p>I enjoyed reading it. How much time did it take? What will you do differently next time?</p>
<p>Many thanks for taking out time to share your experience. Very valuable and a gift to the community. We are fortunate.</p>
