Regan Harper is presenting on converting face-to-face training into a web-based environment. The idea is to take face2face training that we give for LITA and adapt it for online environments.

• 2 tips fof online – 1)give less of it & 2) organize into small units
• planning – is the topic good for online? synchronous or asynchronous? what do I need to change to make it work?
• breaking into chunks is important – end each session with a complete thought
• make sure attendees know your tech people – put tech support # for the tool up for them, for example
• keep it simple!!!!
• delivery – set ground rules, use appropriate pacing (slow!), appeal to all learning styles
• “be as engaging as you can, without being annoying”
• keep visuals moving – not just animations, but use highlight/pen/pencil tools to add movement to the screen
• ask lots of questions of the audience – keep ‘em involved
• gesticulate – wildly – it will be reflected in your voice – be dramatic
