Thinking Outside the Virtual Training Box (March OC Learning Event)

One of the biggest challenges in delivering virtual training is how to keep your audience actively participating. The purpose of this isn’t just to discourage multitasking, but more importantly, to ensure that your audience connects with you, finds value, and ultimately learns from you.

Most training professionals know the functionality of webinar platforms; how to start, screen share, view the chat and record. But you may have asked yourself, How do I create an interactive experience that goes beyond Q&A and the chat box?

Join this session to recharge your creative thinking cap and experience best practices in audience engagement for virtual delivery!

Who Should Attend
