The mini-workshops are designed for companies and organizations who want to add some learning content to meetings and conferences. The mini-workshops are designed to be presented in one hour. The thirty minute content portion is presented through a video presentation. Participants are asked to complete a Video Note-Taking Guide (VNG) during the presentation.
