There’s a lot of buzz about how ChatGPT can reduce instructional design cost between 1-10%. Is this real or just a marketing scheme?

In this webinar, Ray will discuss:

• What is the overview of the ChatGPT ecosystem and the tools and plug-ins you can use?
• What are the learning platforms that can integrate with ChatGPT and reduce your cost?
• What are the steps to take so ChatGPT can be used to reduce research, writing, and development effort and expenditures?
• How do you deal with copyright and ownership of the content?
• What ChatGPT tools can you use in graphics, videos, and animation?
• How do you rapidly move and copy your lesson created in ChatGPT into a quick delivery of Microlearning, Workflow Learning, and Experience Learning?
• We will show proof in action from our LABS

Whether it’s an online meeting, a presentation via webinar, or live online training, engagement is the main question on everyone’s mind:

Will it be worth my time to attend, or
Will it be an opportunity to check email instead?

Online meeting technology is powerful and has made it easy to connect with people from anywhere in the world at any time, yet  professionals often still struggle with getting everyone to interact.

Interaction is the answer to successful engagement and using the features of the platform is the answer to interaction.

However, the features alone do not engage the participants. It is what you choose to do with those features that will make the difference in your next virtual training, webinar, or meeting.

During this session, you will learn what you can do to be successful in the virtual environment and avoid having everyone ask for a recording or a copy of the slides five minutes into your next virtual event.

In this session:

• You’ll analyze the activities demonstrated and brainstorm where the techniques could be applied to your virtual training programs.
• You’ll explore the specific challenges of managing the technology, and brainstorm solutions to the engagement problems you are likely to experience with your live online attendees when technical problems arise.

Activities are the key to your success. Through them you’ll learn to manage the technology, get attendees to actively engage, and help presenters have a great time too!

Application on the Job

• Define virtual learner engagement to effectively design the appropriate activities.
• Analyze activities for specific engagement techniques and feature usage to apply to your own activity design.
• Create your own customized activities for immediate use in your virtual classroom programs.

Walt Disney was a creative genius, a master showman, and an amazing teacher who once firmly proclaimed, “The normal gap between what is generally regarded as ‘entertainment’ and what is defined ‘educational’ represents an old and untenable viewpoint.”

The entertainments Disney created were both informative and enjoyable—unlike many learning programs. When entertainment and learning are aligned, as Walt Disney would deliver them, the result is magical; participants pay attention, they absorb information, and they change behavior.

In this insightful and engaging presentation, 25 year Walt Disney World training leader Lenn Millbower shares the ways in which Walt’s entertainment strategies can be, and were, applied to actual learning challenges.

Focusing on your needs, you will then identify specific tactics you can use to make your presentations, training programs, classes, or communications more successful.

This session will … 

• Explore the connection between entertainment and learning so you can pixie-dust your learning objectives with messages that matter to your learners
• Identify the strategies Walt Disney’s theme parks use to draw people into the experience so you can apply specific tactics to capture learner attention and maintain focus
• Examine the techniques Disney’s team used to transform rides into immersive environments and so you can create your own captivating learning experiences
• Discover Disney’s approach to making a message so memorable that the meaning sticks for years afterwards so you can create magical memories for your audience
