As one might imagine, The Bob Pike Group always is looking for ways to make training relevant while still maintaining its participant-centered focus. When doing training online, that focus is even more critical as holding the participants' attention is more difficult to do. A few years ago, Becky Pluth came across Raptivity, a software that now has about 250 templates for creating interactive exercises for online training.

In July, The Bob Pike Group will begin one of its newest workshops which provides a basic understanding of what elearning is and how to make it participant-centered. The highly-interactive course provides a primer for terminology, tools, and technology and demonstrates best practices for how to best implement elearning and webinars.

Scott Enebo, a BPG trainer, answers a reader's question, "I would like to develop my trainers to transition from instructor-led training to webinar training. I am looking for a "curriculum" to help me do that. Can you offer any resources to guide me?"
