This session will explore simple tips and tricks to promote interest and engagement in synchronous seminar/webinar events as well as tools to maximize those events for asynchronous use. We will focus on prompting the WIIFM (what’s in it for me) to help drive audience participation and engagement. Attendees will develop, identify and produce a short asynchronous video commercial for later use in their seminar/webinar development.
In today’s world use of multimedia is a required element in any educational platform. Often professionals will spend a great deal of time and effort in developing and hosting a seminar or webinar only to have less attendees than anticipated. Further, many live events are limited in their usage once the event has taken place. This session will walk participants through the planning, development, marketing and post session usage of a live webinar or seminar event. Whether for a small group of students, or a large meetin, attendees will learn to maximize their work and use what they have created to its full capacity.
- Participants of this workshop will plan and brainstorm a webinar session specific to their field and institution.
- Participants will brainstorm a title that incorporates the WIIFM for the intended audience.
- Participants of this workshop will create a 3-5 minute mini commercial session for their brainstormed session.
- Participants will create a 30 second “mic drop” moment from their mini-commercial for immediate use.
This session is primarily collaborative and interactive. Each participant will identify their unique topic for development. Participants will collaborate and work with other participants at the table for feedback and suggestions. However the final product will be specific to the participant and for their use within their specific institution.
The instructor will help with technology, brainstorm, planning and feedback. Participants will create multiple titles and scripts with the purpose of engaging their specific audience in their institution. Theinstructor needs a projector and screen as well as a wireless microphone. The presenter would also love to use OLC swag/flash drives in the session for participants to save and share the materials.
Participants will need a laptop that is video enabled, a microphone/headset as well as screen recording programs such as WebEx, Zoom, Screencast-o- matic. Participants will also be introduced to free versions of various resources such as Playposit, Free Cam 8 and Certify’em. Participants will be encouraged to use whatever current technology they are comfortable with (Jam Board, Padlet, ect…).
