Lesson 2: Enhancing Webinar Participant Engagement

5.7. Emoticons

Emoticons are a simple tool you can use to elicit feedback. Most webinar software has one or more emoticons, such as a smiley face, hand-raising, confused face, and applause hands.

Some uses for emoticons are:

• Ask participants to use one of the emoticons to indicate if you are going too fast or too slow at any point during the webinar.
• Let participants request audio by using the hand-raising emoticon.
