About the Article
Technology has transformed the way workshops are designed and delivered, providing new avenues for interactivity, collaboration, and accessibility. This Teaching Paper introduces a curated set of technology tools for facilitators, categorized into video conferencing platforms, interactive polling and quiz applications, collaborative online tools, low-bandwidth solutions, and visual aids. By integrating these tools into workshop planning, facilitators can engage participants more effectively, adapt to diverse contexts, and overcome barriers to participation. Drawing on established frameworks such as Bates’ SECTIONS model, Mayer’s principles of multimedia learning, and Brookfield’s work on interactive teaching, the paper offers both theoretical grounding and practical guidance. A case study from a hybrid leadership workshop in the Philippines illustrates how blending digital and offline tools enhanced engagement and inclusivity. Reflection questions and practical tips support facilitators in making context-sensitive decisions about technology adoption.
