E-Learning Queen Provides Tips for Effective Webinars
Cool customers, Tips n tricks June 15th, 2007Something missing from your webinars? E-Learning Queen alter ego Susan Smith Nash has some great advice about how you can make them more effective. You’ll want to read her entire post, but here’s the general idea.
- Capture attention at the beginning.
- Build a cognitive framework at the beginning.
- Encourage interaction.
- Connect to the audience experience.
- Reward the learners.
- Repurpose with a purpose.
- Respect culture and language.
Susan makes the point that weak webinars put learning and information technologies in a negative light. So it’s doubly important to use these technologies to their best advantage–to enhance teaching and learning as well as to promote further use.

I just wanted to pop in and tell you all at Elluminate how much we LOVE the new link to the internet feature on the whiteboard. My 1st graders have loved being able to easily link to a wide selection of internet games that I have set up for them in the game time we have after class. They can browse through the slides (roam feature put to good use) and because I have an image of the game, they can see what it will be when they link to it. A great help to pre-readers.
