How to Keep Your Workshop Attendees Up To Date
I am always traveling conducting workshops and courses. And almost all the topics I cover, things keep changing at a rapid pace. There are new case studies, new materials get posted online and my attendees themselves might end up making interesting use the stuff I have introduced to them.
What I am increasingly doing is creating my notes using Google Document. It works like a wiki, I keep adding new examples, links etc.
I used to forward this document to the organizers to print the notes.
These days, the first thing I do is get the email addresses of the participants and then invite them to become collaborators for the document.
This way even after the course, the participants have access to my updates. I also encourage them to add links and examples that they encounter. What I hope to do is build a little community around my notes. I could have used a wiki but I feel the Google doc look and feel is more user friendly for most of my course participants.
