Have you ever felt that your webinars and virtual training are a big guess work? You are hoping that your learners would not multi-task, snooze off, or remain so quiet. Does it ever come to a point that you feel like you’re the only one in the webinar?
Yes, this feeling can be quite scary and eerie. But it happens to many trainers and presenters. The pros have mastered script design so that when they have a topic, they simply insert the content into their process and are confident it will work and engage learners. In this webinar, you will learn:

Many trainers and learning professionals have been rushing to use ZOOM for the rapid transfer of their classroom workshops online. But in the hustle and bustle, we focused too much on the urgency of getting things done instead of conducting it in a right way. We are then left with ZOOM sessions with Zombie learners. Observe that we have the content and all the materials available but the learning doesn't take place.

Can you really make a miracle happen? Think of this situation when every so often, you have to scavenge, scrounge, steal, borrow, and cannibalize whatever software you can find just to produce a quick and immediate learning lesson. There is no budget or you probably need months before you can even make a purchase. But after you completed the lesson, you realize you just made a miracle.
In this conversation, Susie will lead a discussion around:

Most trainers, learning designers, and leaders focus on teaching "happy incidents." However, according to Tim Ryan Seratt, for every happy incident, there are probably 10 or more "unhappy" incidents at work.
These unhappy incidents comprise of unexpected issues, conflicts from knowledge, deviations from policies, absence of clear guidance, gaps in understanding goals, and many others. In this conversation, Tim will lead a discussion highlighting the following topics:
Let's make this conversation highly interactive. Please post your advanced ideas, such as questions, insights, and practices in determining happy and unhappy incidents, and how to turn it to learning moments. Register and click “Pre-Session.”

Success at work and in learning ought to be simultaneous or parallel, and should be working in tandem. Unfortunately, work and learning are so distant from each other so it is difficult to measure success in real life.

Sometimes, webinar facilitation feels like you’re in NIRVANA - engaging, fun, flawless; or in the ABYSS - sucking, awful, as if you are dying.
In spite of these varying swings, you can still find the best facilitation method and technique by using the Engagement Matrix for Webinar Facilitation ®. This Matrix helps you decide what mix of content and interaction brings your learners to nirvana or what combination to avoid so learners do not go into the abyss.  Join our conversation. Before the sessions, you can experience the Engagement Matrix for Webinar Facilitation ® and download a reference article. Please share your facilitation methods and examples, make comments in the Pre-Session Activity, and submit questions in advance so we can all dig deeper into our discussion. I look forward to having you participate in our conversation. Join us!  Ray

Many who are rushing to be experts on the technical side of webinars and virtual presentations “kill” their learners through boredom and meaningless ideas. Sadly, a key reason is that we tend to focus on technologies and delivery of content, making us forget that our learners expect to be inspired and wowed by the facilitator or presenter.

Different learners have different levels of understanding – from fundamental modules for newbies to the advanced microlearning for experienced users.

In this session, we are very pleased to be joined by Cleon McClure, eLearning Developer / Communications Specialist from the healthcare company BD (https://www.bd.com/en-us). Together with Cleon, we will share with ideas, methods and tools that allow workers to keep on learning while on the job to support continuous learning.

Most instructional videos we see are produced in a linear format – filled with talking heads with the goal of dumping so much content on the audience. Even if the videos have the razzle-dazzle – they remain boring and meaningless if they do not translate to usefulness and learning.
How do we make these videos interactive and relevant to our learners? How do we make videos that will move our learners? In our next VignettesLABS conversation, we will see and observe a few examples on how to create and select engaging videos, and add interaction to make sure they are practical and functional to the learners. Let us amplify our exchange of ideas. Submit your example videos and making comments in the Pre-Session Activity. Should you have any questions, please send them in advance so we can discuss it more deeply. I look forward to having you in our conversation. Join us! Ray
