Hi Everyone! I’m starting the webinar now… be back at 10am!
interesting webinar today
I am just beginning to explore blended learning, and I plan to focus on the benefits of training over time.
Can I help you with any of your questions?
Hi Vicki–one of the first questions that came in was how do you incorporate video into virtual training?
We find that short videos seem to work better and you use a virtual platform that enables videos..like Training Center..it is very fun and diversifies the learning as well as shows best practices of many learnings/practices
When do you suggest addressing “what’s in it for me?” during training?
I believe that you should address WIIFM after every key concept taught. WIIFM is about reenrolling and moving intentions to action
Here’s another question that came in during the webinar: How do you address “teaching others” in a virtual setting?
I put them in a breakout room where they teach each other..OR they can privately chat a buddy OR they can hang up from the conference line and call each other after giving each other their phone number in the chat box..it depends on how much they need to teach.
Here’s another question: How could these engaging techniques be used in a one-to-one setting?
Oh thea is a great question..absolutely use it when working with someone to teach them anything..E-Set them up for learning N-teach them the content G-have them share why that would be important to their world..etc..and end with a Celebration..”what have you learned?” It is truly a way to maximize learning whenever they want to.
And here’s a question about training outside of your home country: Any special challenges with training when participants are attending from a different country?
WE have done this a lot with local facilitators joining in to help with translations. In addition we have done different parts of the world at different times from one org. to take into account the time zone (sometimes we are training at 2 AM!) We love working around the world!
Remember with blended learning, each part needs to ENGAGE the participants. You have multiple options to help people be brilliant. The focus os on HOW when designing not just WHAT..so go..make people learn. Thanks for all your commitments and key learnings. If you have any other questions.. email webinars@kenblanchard.com. Have a great day learning, Vicki
