Facilitation notes for remote-first lab facilitators
Soft-lit conference table with notebooks and ceramic mugs
Hybrid labs wobble when audio lags behind diagrams. We assign a “diagram anchor” who narrates cursor moves slowly enough for remote participants to follow without shouting.
Breakout rooms get a visible agenda: first five minutes silent reading, next ten paired debugging, final five share-outs. Facilitators drop into rooms with questions instead of answers.
We end each day with an anonymous mood form—not for marketing, but to adjust pacing before tomorrow’s block.
