Designing Visual Templates for Facilitators

A visual template works like a silent facilitator. It includes prompts, instructions and empty space for participants to fill with their knowledge, ideas and insights. It’s basically a worksheet that is worked on with a group. They can be on flipcharts for in-person meetings and in slides or a shared workspace tool like MURAL for online training or meetings.

There are plenty of visual templates already out there and available for you to use, but it’s a good idea to have some basic design skills so, when needed, you can create your own.

Join us for this LTEN webinar as we help you get started. We’ll share best practices and design principles that can be applied to the tools like MURAL. During this 60-minute session, we will take you through basic steps for designing your own visual templates.
