Nine Practices To Make Webinars Interactive and Effective

From Nancy Dixon

1.  stream video of the speaker.

2. Devote a full time person to support and encourage chat.

3. Use breakout rooms for small group discussion of the topic.

4. Use an interview format instead of a “presentation,” again as streaming video.

5. Invite people to attend because you need to hear their perspective on a critical issue under discussion – not just to listen.

6. Create two sets of slides, one for the webinar and one with detailed notes of what you said for dowloading.

7. Use the questions participants ask during the webinar to shape the on-going content of the webinar.

8. Create slides that have lots of pictures and color and minimize the use of words.

9. Keep changing things up; chat, polls, cartoons, video clips.

“We all need to learn how to use Webinars more effectively. They are an amazing technology with a huge potential for informing us, jointly creating knowledge, problem solving, and sharing what we have learned with each other.”

“In coming post I will discuss, three types of  Webinars, Broadcast, Breakout, and Problem Solving and outline the different techniques for each.”
