Summary

Death by webinar is rapidly replacing death by PowerPoint! Make your webinars effective and engaging! A webinar is a different animal, requiring different skills and a different energy, where your weaknesses and lack of preparation leaves you completely exposed. Budget cuts and a business focus on everything "green" makes human resource training via webinars a really attractive option-if you can do it effectively. Here is the resource you need for designing and delivering training that justifies your investment and gets the job done well. In this book you will discover the top ten sins of webinars and how to avoid them; how to connect with learners online; the best practices for webinar design, execution, and follow-up; how to use the basic webinar software tools to best advantage, and more. Implementing these techniques and activities are guaranteed to help you involve your participants, make your training memorable, and ensure participant action planning.
