Making the Most of Webinars – Harvard Business Review

As the technology improves, many educational and other meetings are being offerred as Webinars.

This a great improvement over flying around the countryside to attend in person

• if the organisers design the content with the webinar format in mind, and

• if the participants don’t take the opportunity to play Angry Birds or to get their email to ‘InBox Zero’.

This article in Harvard Business Review provides a guide to making the most of Webinars.

For participants

• Make sure you choose Webinars likely to be of value to you
• Watch with a group
• Take notes as if you have to teach the subject to others
• Use the technology to ask questions, and use the webinar to network.

For organisers

• Choose topics carefully
• Focus on training
• Create opportunites for dialog
• Provide incentives for participants to demonstrate their mastery
