Webinars That Work
Discover or rediscover techniques that will make the driest material come to life on the screen and over the phone. This is a crash course in designing creative webinars and increasing retention and ultimately the transfer of the learning. With so many learners checking out of web casts and doing email or finishing another task it is important to involve the listeners and participants every 4 minutes. But how? This session really dives into tips on how to do just that. We will explore four techniques for delivering interactive webinars to as many as 1,000 people at a time. These include chunking content, openers that break pre-occupation, closers with action plans, revisiting content throughout. With the increase in webinars it is really important for people to also look at what they should be doing before, during and after their session to get the most out of their session and reduce challenges during.
Learning Objectives- Create effective opening and closing strategies for webinars.
- Evaluate methods to successfully teach and engage the webinar learner.
- Acquire tactics creating and maintaining trainer and participant motivation.
- This session is primarily participatory and interactive in nature. Participants will learn not only from the content being presented and modeled but from one another as well. From time to time participants will interact through writing, viewing, listening and connecting.
