In this chapter, we explore the evolution and lessons from the 1950s Chicago TV College, which revolutionized remote education through engaging and interactive methods. The chapter draws parallels to modern virtual workshops, cautioning against monotonous lectures that lead to disengagement and 'Zoom fatigue'. Instead, effective workshops should include short, focused teaching segments, hands-on exercises, Q&A sessions, breakout rooms, and well-timed breaks. By following these five key steps, presenters can create dynamic and memorable virtual workshops that captivate their audiences and enhance learning outcomes.
