Would people attend your trainings if they had to pay for them out of their own pockets?

For most trainers, the answer is no – but that’s about to change.

In this session you’ll learn to combine key principles from the fields of marketing and instructional design to create training programs so good that, if your participants had to pay to attend, they would happily do so.

This will be accomplished by taking a “both, and” approach to the dichotomies of traditional vs. online training.

Through this webinar, you will learn:

• The key steps to take *before* you begin to design your training
• How to leverage principles of hybrid course creation to create maximal engagement
• The role of gamification in creating effective hybrid trainings
• How to integrate accountability, support, and community into your trainings

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 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 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

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.

This webinar is based on the book Interact and Engage! 50+ Activities for Virtual Training, Meetings, Webinars by Kassy LaBorie & Thomas Stone.

Presenter: Kassy LaBorie (LinkedIn profile) Director of Virtual Training Services for Dale Carnegie Training, is an indemand keynote speaker & leads a consultancy  to develop online training strategies for organizations .
