How does an ELE Producer support my Zoom session? As the support person on the delivery team, the Producer is an invaluable resource before, during, and after a virtual training event. He or she is there to support the facilitator, the participants, and technology. The producer makes the session run smoothly, troubleshooting technical issues for anyone attending the session, loading polls, and even co-facilitating content (which helps change the dynamics with the new voice). Here is a small list of tasks the Producer helps with:
  • Open and prepare the session design,
  • Load course materials, polls, and testing,
  • Set participant privileges,
  • Managing session options,
  • Demonstrate platform features to participants to perfect their ease of use,
  • Provide on-the-spot participant support and technical troubleshooting to keep the session running smoothly with fewer interruptions.
