It will cover learning theory, earning outcomes and assessment. The idea of the webinar is based on <a href=\"http:\/\/valeru.net\/course-material\/\">Module 3 of the VALERU VNIL expert training<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I already conducted face-to-face training session, but I haven&#8217;t conducted a webinar myself yet. As a participant, I\u00a0already took part in a\u00a0webinars as a part of the audience.<\/p>\n<p>From my expierence as participant I can recall a few\u00a0important aspects of a webinar.<\/p>\n<h2>My assumptions: What to consider&#8230;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Looking for a <strong>suitable tool\/online room<\/strong> (eg. skype for less participants, adobe connect, google hangout)<\/li>\n<li>Preparing <strong>slides<\/strong> you can share during the webinar.<\/li>\n<li>Asking the participants to check the tool a few minutes before the start of the conference, so they have time to get acquainted with the tool.<\/li>\n<li>Knowing <strong>who is participatin<\/strong>g: Having an idea about the target group helps to shift the webinar in the right direction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start of the webinar:<\/strong> Welcoming, introducing &#8211; if few people are participating, a short introduction round could be beneficial\u00a0to getting to know each other.<\/li>\n<li>Give an <strong>outlook<\/strong> what will be done during the webinar<\/li>\n<li>Try to get people engaged with <strong>little tasks<\/strong>, let them talk and discuss.<\/li>\n<li>Give participants time to ask questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Record<\/strong> the webinar to understand what went well and what could be improved or also to share it with the participants or a wider audience after the webinar!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A few of these point can be also applied for face-to-face sessions of course.<\/p>\n<h2>Surfing the Internet: Great Webinar Top 10<\/h2>\n<p>After brainstorming what assumptions I already had about &#8220;good&#8221; webinars, I also searched the internet.<\/p>\n<p>I found following article: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/webinar-planning-list#sm.00001mwdqshnj4d47vahe43nays0v\">&#8220;<span id=\"hs_cos_wrapper_name\" class=\"hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_meta_field hs_cos_wrapper_type_text\" data-hs-cos-general-type=\"meta_field\" data-hs-cos-type=\"text\">10 Things That Take a Webinar From Good to Great&#8221;<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/internet-marketing-company?_ga=1.231379039.1753638284.1464081841\">hubspot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Interact with your audience before the webinar.\u00a0<\/strong>E.g. via e-mail, even better via social media. I communicated via e-mail, as just 5 participants will attend the webinar and it&#8217;s not publicly open to everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Create a kick-ass deck.\u00a0<\/strong>This is also what I assumed. You need interesting, visualising slides to keep the audience enganged!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Use a hashtag dedicated to the webinar.\u00a0<\/strong>I guess this would be a good idea especially for big webinars. Unfortunately my audience doesn&#8217;t use too much twitter. Anyway &#8211; I will definitely use a hashtag: #VALERU!<\/p>\n<p>Hashtags have multiple uses: &#8220;During the webinar, we use the hashtag to interact with the audience, answer technical questions, and gather questions for the Q&amp;A portion. Finally, after the webinar, we use the hashtag to follow up on any unanswered questions and send additional information.&#8221; (See hubspot)<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Have one or more awesome speakers.\u00a0<\/strong>I am afraid I will be the only speaker, but I try hard to be awesome \ud83d\ude42 I think that having more than one speaker adds a special dynamic to the webinar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Use speaker and company Twitter handles. <\/strong>Again doesn&#8217;t apply to much to my situation but anyway a good idea to give it all a personal touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Have at least one host or moderator. <\/strong>I guess I will be moderator and speaker at the same time, but I think I can handle it since I just have 5 participants in my webinar. Let&#8217;s see how it will work out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Try out various types of media. <\/strong>I will definitely add media like videos, interactive interfaces, etc. to complement my webinar.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also want to consider a variety of media types for your webinar. I think I will try screen-sharing directly! I really need to check out all function on adobe connect first&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) Perform a thorough sound check. <\/strong>Need to do this, too of course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) Take other time zones into consideration. <\/strong>I definitely need to consider different time zones. I keep forgetting that we actually have CEST not CET here in Austria at the moment. This can lead to great confusion. We always try to find a suitable time for all people attending, fitting to our time zones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) Find a quiet place to talk. <\/strong>I think\/hope my office is quiet enough. Maybe at home would be even better (no phones ringing etc)? Need to think about this still.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 24 2016 I will conduct a webinar for the\u00a0VALERU project\u00a0via adobe connect.
