GREAT WEBINARS: HOW TO CREATE INTERACTIVE LEARNING THAT IS CAPTIVATING, INFORMATIVE AND FUN (Monday, May 21, 2012)

Mon, 21 May 2012 16:00:00 GMT

Program Description:

Most novice webinar presenters report that they are uncomfortable with virtual delivery because they:

No longer have eye contact with learners
Can't read facial expressions
Have difficulty receiving feedback from their participants
Lapse into one-way communication, despite their good intentions
Feel like they're giving a speech in a closet
Believe that their students are madly multi-taking

Without the tools or skills to cross the chasm, novice facilitators find it difficult to achieve high-performance in the virtual arena. If you believe that the virtual classroom can be as exciting, meaningful, and relevant as the face-to-face classroom, then join Cynthia Clay, President/CEO, NetSpeed Learning Solutions, and author of Great Webinars: How to Create Interactive Learning that is Captivating, Informative, and Fun at this practical and inspiring webinar.

Learning Objectives:

Avoid the 3 most common errors that make webinars dull
Apply 5 techniques to transform your virtual classroom
Adopt 3 practices to reduce the impact of technology snafus
