Training from Behind the Screen

Introduction

What strategies can we use when designing a training course that will be delivered virtually. What is the best way to convert an exercise that works very well in the classroom to a virtual environment? How can we take advantage of exercises designed exclusively for remote training?

With Training from Behind the Screen, you will learn to design and facilitate live, virtual courses. In this OpenClass® training, you will learn the essential techniques and activities to connect with remote students interactively. In addition, students will practice with a complete collection of online tools to complement the training.

Training from Behind the Screen was designed to not only benefit trainers, but also for interactive webinars speakers, those responsible for HR, and in general, anyone who wants to learn how to capture a virtual audience’s attention and get their message across in a more understandable way.

Objectives

At the end of this course students will be able to:

• Design and deliver courses intended to be presented in live, virtual format.
• Write indicators to measure levels of impact on training, behavior, and business.
• Write learning objectives that are realistic and observable.
• Apply the 6 Learning Principles (“Six Trumps” from Sharon Bowman’s book Training from the Back of the Room* which are based on neuroeducation to increase learning and retention.)
• Use a training design and execution model based on the 4Cs Map*.
• Experiment with an collection of online tools that enhance and complement training.
