What good does it do participants when the trainer shows he/she can do it?

The real measure of impact is whether the lesson is caught and applied by the audience.

Breakout rooms are a tool to help you facilitate peer learning and make your job as a trainer easier.

Becky’s rule of thumb is never do for participants what they can do for themselves—even in a virtual classroom. The more active they are in their learning, the more they remember and ultimately apply.

During this free 1-hour webinar, you will:

• Discover when to use breakout rooms and how to do it effectively
• Discuss common objections from presenters and participants—and how to overcome them
• Explore how you can add a variety of exercises to keep breakout rooms engaging
• Experience effective breakout room learning activities live on Adobe Connect

How can you collect deep insights from training participants (and others) to support your surveys or other training evaluation data?

Try focus groups! Focus groups offer the opportunity to go deeper and add detail and variety to a dataset – much more than would be obtainable with surveys alone.

A focus group is essentially a group interview or small group discussion during which a moderator asks questions in an interactive group setting where participants are encouraged to talk with each other as well as with the moderator.

They offer a great way to gather in-depth information about participants’ thoughts, feelings, experiences or opinions on a specific topic.

Learn:

• How to set up and prepare for focus groups and what to expect before, during and after focus group sessions.
• How to invite and encourage focus group participants to share their stories.
• How focus groups can be used to both develop surveys and to corroborate survey data

When you think of animation, do you think of flying bullets and spiraling titles?

Many people do, unfortunately, and so animation suffers a bad reputation.

In fact, one of your best opportunities to shine as a presenter and storyteller is through smart, effective, and appropriate use of motion.

In this hour, Ruck will explore exactly what that means, using the Animation engine and the always-amazing Morph transition.

Highlights:

• The power of movement, for better or for worse
• When in doubt, use Wipe and Fade
• Sequence data chunks for better understanding
• Create trust with your audience
