In Chapter 13 of 17 in his 2014 Capture Your Flag interview, community leader Bijoy Goswami answers "How Did You Learn to Translate a Keynote Talk into a Class or Workshop?" Goswami shares how he treats his audience as co-learners going on a learning journey together with him. He builds on this by turning a one-way talk into a conversation. Working with Siminars.com, Goswami finds motivating audience members or students to do work and be active, not passive, is the start of translating talk to class or workshop. From there he adds the element of time to plan out a more formal learning journey.
