The Basics in Virtual Training
By Liz Wheeler
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.
You will be able to distinguish good and bad elearning and webinar tactics, and how to ask the right questions before getting started. The session also will cover reasons you cannot just move classroom-based training straight into an online environment and what questions to ask when beginning online learning development. Becky Pluth also will help learners discover four techniques that will make the driest material come to live on the screen or over the phone and what participants should be doing before, during and after the session to get the most out of their session and reduce challenges.
Following this course you will be able to:
- Recognize web and e-learning's core concepts and vocabulary
- Acquire best practices for online facilitation (WIFI needed)
- Practice searching techniques
- Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages to different web and e-learning components
