How To Run Successful Webinars Bringing Online Learning to Life
归类于 Training
Imagine that your boss has asked you to train your team on a new process that the organization is rolling out. Your team members are spread out all over the world, and resources aren't available to fly them in for a training session.
One option is to create an online video, but you'd like everyone to participate in real time. The group work that you've planned will improve your team members' learning experience, and give people a chance to bond with one another.
In the end, you decide to use a webinar because it's easy to set up, it's inexpensive, and it addresses all of your other concerns.
Organizations often use webinars to train their teams, educate clients and engage with customers. But there's a lot that you should consider before you run one. In this article, we'll look at what you need to do to organize, prepare and deliver an informative, interesting and successful webinar.
Why use a Webinar?
Webinars, also known as online or web conferences, are online learning events that happen in real time. Presenters stream information to participants using videos, images, text, and voice.
What sets webinars apart from virtual meetings or online learning sessions are the different interactive aspects that can be used. Audience members can communicate with one another or the presenters through instant messaging, and work together in online groups during the event.
Webinars have many features that encourage people to interact and engage in the activities, including:
Slideshow presentations: presenters often use PowerPoint™ or equivalents to share content.
Streaming video: viewers can watch the host present in real time.
Text chat: participants can use instant messaging to ask presenters questions, or discuss topics with one another.
Interactive whiteboards: these encourage brainstorming, collaboration and engagement by allowing viewers to add content or record ideas in real time.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP): this technology delivers audio streaming during the session.
Desktop or screen sharing: this allows users to view windows on the hosts' desktops. Presenters can even give control of their computers to specific participants.
Recording: users can easily record webinars to revisit material after the event.
Live testing: presenters can use polls and multiple-choice questions to ask questions, and gauge how much people are learning during the event.
Analytics: some webinar platforms also use 'engagement dashboards.' These keep track of session time and allow presenters to see how many people have chatted or answered questions.
You can use webinars for hosting online training events, workshops ,meetings, lectures,presentations, and organizational or industry-wideconferences. They are also effective for educating and engaging customers, vendors and suppliers.
Generally, webinars work best for sessions that last less than three hours. You can use them for longer events if you divide each learning section into blocks of two hours or fewer each day.
Webinars tend to be less effective for teaching hands-on skills, especially as it's hard to monitor students' performance and provide them with thorough feedback.
Advantages and Disadvantages
THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON TO ASK QUESTIONS
归类于 leadership
Socrates is quoted as saying, “The unexamined life is not worth leading.” I would add that the unexamined leader is not worth following. Leaders who never take time to ask what they are doing and why they doing it are unlikely to stay on track, lead at their best, and reach their potential. That is why we need to keep asking ourselves tough questions.
As a leader, I can allow others to ask me hard and important questions, and that’s wonderful. But even better, I can take responsibility, be proactive, and ask those questions of myself.
I have come to the realization that by asking myself tough questions, I can maintain my integrity, increase my energy, and improve my leadership capacity. That’s why I ask myself questions every day. My hope is that you’ll be inspired to ask yourself questions every day so that you keep yourself on track and striving to reach your potential.
My first question to myself:
Am I Investing In Myself?
This Is A Question of Personal Growth
The most important investment you and I will ever make is in ourselves. That investment will determine the return that we get out of life. Jim Rohn’s mentor John Earl Shoaff said to him, “Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.” Jim did learn that lesson well. As he once pointed out, “The book you don’t read can’t help you; the seminar you won’t attend can’t change your life. The business gets better when you get better. Never wish it were easier, wish you were better.”
Since 1974 I have been intentionally investing in myself, and for nearly as long I have been encouraging others to do likewise. Some people do; others don’t. Why is that? I believe three main factors come into play. These will determine if or how you will invest in yourself:
1. Your Self-Image: How You See Yourself
How do you feel about yourself as a person? Are you positive? Are you negative? On a scale of one to ten, what number would you use to describe how you feel about yourself? Take a moment and rate yourself.
Whatever number you picked to describe your self-image also describes your willingness to invest in yourself. For example, if you rated your self-image at a five, you will be willing to invest in yourself up to a five level, but not more. That’s why people with low self-images do not make great investments in themselves. It’s not what you are that keeps you from investing in yourself; it’s what you think you are—or are not. You will never be able to bet on yourself unless you believe in yourself.
2. Your Dream: How You See Your Future
When I sat down to write Put Your Dream to the Test, my desire was to help people make great strides toward their dreams. What I didn’t realize until the book had been written and I starting speaking about it was that many people don’t have a dream. I was shocked. My life has been filled with hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Because of that, I assumed that everyone had at least one dream. I was wrong. Why does that matter? Because the size of your dream determines the size of your investment. If your dream is large, you will invest in yourself to achieve it. If you have no dream, you may not invest in yourself at all.
3. Your Friends: How Others See You
Motivational speaker Joe Larson once said, “My friends didn’t believe I could become a successful speaker, so I did something about it. I went out and found some new friends.” That may sound harsh, but that is what’s needed for anyone who is surrounded by people who don’t believe in them.
People need others to help them stay inspired and growing. Missionary doctor Albert Schweitzer asserted, “In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” If you have friends who light your inner fire, you are very fortunate; they will make you want to keep investing in yourself and growing. If you don’t, find some, because nothing is more important for your potential as a leader than your personal daily growth.
ARE YOU REALLY LEADING, OR ARE YOU JUST TAKING A WALK?
归类于 leadership
You've probably heard the phrase, “It’s lonely at the top” associated with leadership. But is isolated leadership really effective? I don’t think so. In fact, I believe that, “He that thinketh he leadeth, and hath no one following, is only taking a walk.” If you're all alone as a leader, are you really leading? Losing touch with your people is a huge leadership landmine. It will damage your credibility and destroy your influence. How do you avoid losing touch?
1.Recognize the landmine. Unfortunately, losing touch is an easy thing to do. A leader can be tempted to withdraw by both success (“I don’t need to see my people”) and failure (“I don’t want to see my people”). Understanding that it can happen is the first step to avoiding it.
2.Value people. All leadership is influence. And what is influence if it doesn't involve other people? No matter what your organization produces or does, it needs people to function. YOU need people to lead. Leadership becomes effective when you acknowledge that people are your most appreciable asset, and treat them accordingly.
3.Avoid positional thinking. Your position or title shouldn't define your leadership. That’s positional thinking, and it will cause you to disconnect as a leader. Again, leadership is influence. Nothing more, nothing less. I make it my goal to see the people I lead as teammates, not employees. We work together toward a common goal.
4.Love the people you lead. Do you see your people as cogs in the machinery of your organization, and yourself as the operator? They can tell if you don’t care about them. And I've said for a long time that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Loving your people makes the difference in their willingness to follow you into anything, no matter how hard the battle.
