Asked and Answered: Transferring to Virtual Training
By Scott Enebo
Asked: 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? I am specifically looking to create an outline to submit to my executive on
developing my trainers' skills.
Answered: Here are
a few thoughts that come to mind that you may find helpful.
As you may know, the Bob Pike Group offers a course called
Webinars that Work. This is a webinar
series that can be done virtually or live and online in the classroom. The
focus of these webinars is to model, experience, and practice what it means to
give participant-centered webinars (in contrast to the mind-numbing webinars
that we often experience today). Click here for
more information and the agenda items that are covered in this course.
To answer part of your question, the link and agenda that are
mentioned above touch on the key points that we talk about in this course. It
will give you some ideas of topics that are vital to creating and delivering
participant-centered webinars that you can add to a proposal.
The best resource that exists regarding participant-centered
webinars is Webinars
with Wow Factor. I know that it may look self-serving to promote a book
from The Bob Pike Group, but this is the best book I have read on the topic. It
is practical and easy to follow with a lot of examples that you can apply right
away.
