Just like in any learning platform, if a webinar can’t engage and hold the attention of the audience, it will not be effective. It must be engaging! But how do you create engagement?
To start, a learning organization must know its members and their learning needs. Learners want to feel involved, or they will disengage. Educator and learning strategist Tracy King CAE, CVEP says that only by understanding our audience can we design inclusive learning experiences.
King says that to engage, we must capture the attention of our learners, focus their attention in the desired direction, and keep that attention free from distractions. Connect the audience with what they find relevant and meaningful about the subject, and the learner will be interested and motivated to learn.
