On a webinar how do you know your participants are engaged, especially if you cannot see them?
Good question Tim – we have to design for interaction where participants ‘somehow’ add their thoughts etc – which we’ll look at how to do during your training 🙂
Make the presentation interactive if possible, ask questions, gather feedback & opinion. Let the audience know there will be a lighthearted test at the end to make sure they remain engaged throughout.
Hey Chris, are you after my job haha. You’re supposed to ask your own question 🙂
Presentations that are interactive , should be a good mix of speaker and audience contribution. And importantly if it can be made fun rather than power point of doom to keep the audience listening and engaged.
Absolutely Chris. But I guess the question is, How?
How do you gauge the levels of experience across your audience on your selected topic, so as to know when to assume understanding and when to explain..
Good question Keith. I’ll try to answer it during our time together and I’ll add an idea you can try into the training itself. I’ll go add the slide now 🙂
Should slide content be minimal and more like an aide memoir for the presenter to avoid slipping into reading the slide ?
Hmmm – I think like you seem to suggest Simon, content should be minimal – in fact very little with plenty of space for participants to add their thoughts, ideas etc.
