While you watch the movie clip below, be thinking about all the various factors that make this lesson boring.
Yikes!
And did you know that many of the things that made that teacher's learners tune out...are the things that can cause our webinar participants to tune out?
If we as presenters don't have passion for our content, then why should our learners?
This includes stamping, typing and drawing on the screen, using the chat box, using polls, etc.
This is especially important during learning activities and conversations.
Maybe they didn't get what you were asking them to do, so they're not participating.
We've all seen PowerPoints that are copy-heavy, cluttered and overwhelming.
Maybe we haven't helped them see up front how the content we're sharing with them will help them succeed, and what that will look like.
What problem does your content help them solve? How might that problem harm them?
Maybe they don't know.
They might not understand why they need your content immediately.
Not a month from now, not a week from now, but today.
Perhaps we haven't made it clear in our stories or tonality that we are there to help them.
Maybe we haven't addressed misconceptions they might hold regarding the problem and/or solution.
Perhaps they don't know how your research or experience makes you an ideal guide for them.
Which of those 10 reasons do you want to improve on the most?
