Increasing use is being made of conferencing via the telephone as a communications method. It allows two individuals or a group to hold a meeting or discussion without the need for a physical meeting; thus saving travelling time and expense. However, without proper training, audioconferencing can prove ineffective. This activity allows participants to investigate how best to use this medium.
You introduce the session and ask participants to produce guidelines for holding an effective conference call. Then the group has an opportunity to try out a call and to receive feedback on their effectiveness.
