4. Stay Pithy and On Point
In an era where distractions abound, the key to maintaining focus in virtual meetings is brevity. We recommend frequent, brief touchpoints rather than prolonged sessions to keep participants engaged. This approach aligns with findings from medical education that favour micro-learning. Additionally, when crafting asynchronous interactions, consider breaking longer questions into smaller, manageable parts (e.g., parts a, b, c) to streamline understanding and prevent participant fatigue. Stick to no more than three sub-questions per main question to keep clarity and minimize confusion.

This tip is part of our series on enhancing the effectiveness of both asynchronous and synchronous virtual interactions.
