Engaging eLearning Essentials: Five Secrets and Three Surprises
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)
Is your online training content boring? In a world economy and business marketplace that demands an increasing reliance on eLearning, learning leaders cannot afford to offer programs that go ignored, avoided and unheralded. But despite technology that allows trainers to reach far-flung audiences quickly and easily, people often tune out or drop out in large numbers. Can’t we do much, much better?

Registration is no longer available for this event.

Join us on June 23 for this Training Industry, Inc. webinar , presented on the Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro platform, as we talk about the essentials of audience engagement in the context of e-learning. Dr. Allison Rossett of San Diego State University and Antonia Chan of Amway Corporation will present this interactive – and engaging – webinar that will help you raise the bar on your own eLearning programs.

Registrants will also receive a free copy of an Adobe white paper authored by Allison and Antonia, “Engaging with the New e-Learning,” along with additional resources.

In addition to sharing five secrets and three surprises that will help you produce more effective e-learning, our speakers will also:

  • Give you a checklist to help you consider your EQ (Engagement Quotient) as you plan e-learning initiatives.
  • Share best practices and award-winning examples of engaging e-learning from leading organizations.
  • Highlight newer technologies, including social learning, podcasts and Twitter, and their contributions to engagement.
