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,
• Will it be an opportunity to check email instead?
• Is it effective learning?
• How do you make sure that your learners interact with the experience and are really learning?

Online meeting technology is powerful and has made it easy to connect with people from anywhere in the world at any time, yet L&D 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.

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 that align with better learning principles such as authentic, relevant, fun, accessible, timely, efficient, and engaging are the key to your success.

Through them you’ll learn to manage the technology, get attendees to actively interact, and help presenters have a great time too!

Application On The Job:

1. Define virtual learner engagement to effectively design the appropriate activities.
2. Analyze activities for specific engagement techniques and feature usage to apply to your own activity design.
3. Create your own customized activities for immediate use in your virtual classroom programs.
4. Design an experience that aligns with better learning principles including authentic, relevant, fun, accessible, timely, efficient, and engaging.
