Building Community in Online CPD Spaces

The first day event we facilitated online was in March 2020 5 days before the first national lockdown. During the 9 months that followed, I explored ways in which to hold long CPD events online that: - are engaging - promote online wellbeing - give practitioners time and space to share with their peers - encourage digital use but doesn't exclude those that aren't digitally confident - is as (FE) community focused as our face:face events This blog documents my reflection after every event and is illustrated with participant experiences of the events. Remember: everyone has their own way of cooking, so feel free to use the recipe detailed below in whatever way you feel will work best, for your CPD events!
