  • Looking for cost effective and agile ways to train staff?

    Then virtual classroom (VC) may be the answer you are looking for (other terms for VC include webinar and web conferencing).

    At first, virtual classroom can seem a little daunting to design and facilitate. A virtual classroom train-the-trainer workshop is a great way to build the skills and confidence you need to be successful. Visit Connect Thinking for more information.

    Meanwhile, why not review these free resources from Connect Thinking and our affiliates.

    Webinar design and facilitation techniques for learning, sharing and collaboration

    These videos are an edited recording from a live webinar presentation sponsored by Redback Conferencing. Although the participant numbers were too large for a lot of participation, the recording will give you a sense of the role of web moderator (played by Sara) and facilitator (me).

    10 Things that Make E-Learning Work

    These videos help to understand the webinar process from ‘go to wo’. A collaboration with Colleen Kavanagh. This presentation also appeared in article format in HC Magazine, Sept 2011, pp34-36.

    All E-Learning Academy videos are available on YouTube and iTunes.

    If you have a virtual classroom question or experience you would like to share, please feel free to leave a comment on this blog post. Thank you.
