Miun niin sanottu etäelämäni1. Hybridi on uusi mustaTässä jaksossa otamme käsittelyyn hybriditilaisuudet- ja kokoukset. Miten järjestää onnistunut kokous, jossa on sekä paikan päällä osallistujia että etänä? Entäpä miten varmistat, että tapahtumassasi huomioidaan riittävästi sekä läsnäolijat että etäosallistujat?
