Learning online is now commonplace. We know how to use the platform features, but unfortunately, engaging attendees to participate, to come on camera, and to unmute can be like “herding cats,” as the saying goes.

The features of the platform are not what engages people, it is how we use them that makes an impact.

Establishing a comfortable, safe, and technically sound online learning environment is essential. Meaningful and relevant activities are the secret.

Like tasty treats and fresh catnip, attendees will be unable to resist actively participating in your virtual training when you use these learning activities and a “never fail” debrief strategy to involve them!

Invite participants to take charge of their learning and experience virtual training like they’ve never seen before.

Walk away with:

• 3-6 ready to use virtual learning activity examples, including one that uses escape game strategy for exploratory learning
• 1 “never fail” debrief strategy to reflect on, validate, and encourage learning
• 1 job aid to assist you to make your own virtual learning activities
• An understanding of the psychology behind virtual training design and delivery strategies that truly engage

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.

Virtual training and webinars are unfortunately known for their technical breakdowns. Ask anyone what they dislike about learning online and the answer is usually that it’s boring, it’s not engaging, and there are too many technical problems.

The first 10 minutes of live online sessions is often spent on struggles to get everyone connected and making the audio work. Identifying someone to be your virtual producer (or someone who performs that role) will transform not only the way you run your online training, but also how you and your attendees feel about them.

Producers help every aspect of virtual training run effectively starting with the technology itself, assisting the attendees as needed, and allowing trainers and presenters to focus on the learning experience.

Attend this energetic & engaging live session and you’ll learn these plus much, much more:

• Identify the different types of producers and when to use each depending on the virtual session being delivered
• Determine the necessary skills to develop people (including existing virtual trainers) to be effective producers
• Create an action plan to ensure the production of your virtual sessions are engaging every time

Human error happens and complex technical systems break. They cause havoc in operations, materials, people, etc. and the subsequent bottomline.

The inclination is to play the “blame game” and asking “who is at fault” and “who should be penalized.” The problem with this approach  is that it does not address the true picture of why people make mistakes or why complex technical systems break down.

The “pointing of the finger” approach wastes energies and valuable learning time.

In this webinar, Ray will share his research and projects that enabled his clients to “reinvent” compliance and technical training.

• Why are compliance and technical training trapped in the “fault and punishment” mindset?
• What are the errors and risks involved and why do we fail to correct them?
• Why do we describe things as “complex” and “complicated”?
• What are breaking points in maintenance, materials, processes, safety and other violations?
• Why do these breaking points get much attention?
• Why use more holistic, exploratory, reinvention and collaborative methods that bring long lasting solutions?
• How do we reinvent compliance and technical training for performance driven outcomes?
• How do you apply the “Reinvention Strategies of Compliance and Technical Training”?
• What are simple steps you can quickly use to “reinvent” your compliance and technical training?
