Everyone likes to talk about themselves. Like a good conversation, asking someone else's opinion, thoughts brings them into the discussion.

In the online learning world, try having learners bring their existing knowledge and experiences into the virtual classroom.

Connecting the content to their experience results in:
•higher engagement
•increased knowledge retention
•better referrals
•increased course reviews!

What's not to like?!

What are some of the ways you engage learners in your content?

In my last post, I talked about involving participants in your training/presentation/course/talk, etc.

What are some useful ways to ask questions that engage participants?

This could be by presenting a quick, multiple choice questions before moving on, providing learners with the freedom of choice for the topic or content flow.

In the case of webinars or live lessons, pause to ask learners directly. Have them form small discussion groups and present back, or pausing for a few minutes to allow for an individual task to take place.

The benefits here by requiring frequent learner input, they have to be focused to make decisions, respond to questions that can’t be easily guessed, and the use of correct response tracking builds confidence and show a visual report of progress.

Do you agree that questions keep learners engaged?

You’ve definitely heard this one before (!) but when it comes to online training use lecture-based teaching in moderation.

It certainly does have its place and can be an effective method of teaching (in some cases!). This can be varied with other methods such as text-only activities, group tasks, visual methods (video, images), audio-only tasks, or learner discovery.

When transferring your face to face courses to online, it doesn’t have to be single-student based learning.

Humans are social creatures and thrive on social interactions.

It might surprise you that online learning can offer the same flexibility as traditional face to face methods.

Use social learning through the use of cohorts and group-based tasks.

The social aspect of learning is fundamental to retention and recall of information and it is proven to increase course completion rates drastically!

Social pressure proves effective, no one wants to be the only person who didn’t finish the course.

Agree?

Why do we feel the need to fill silence with something? You've no doubt experienced this in conversation, instructors/presenters/coaches probably have experienced the "wall of silence" in a room (real or virtual).

Have no fear. Embrace the silence!

What might be happening is one of two things:
•the learners are confused
•the learners need time to consider a reply

This is especially true of introspective learners, or learners where English may be their second language, they require time to process a question before responding. This all aids the learning process and keeps them involved in the lesson.

Have you experienced the wall-of-silence?! How did you feel?

Sensory overload is a real threat that is often overlooked in online training.

When using lectures, it demands learners use multiple senses at once, and this can be fatiguing.

-Visual to watch

-Aural to listen

-Oral to feedback if asked a question

-Physical when taking down notes.

Try removing one of these senses which can let learners increase both their attention span and reduce energy level drain.

Graphics, text, or audio can be an alternative medium to reduce learner sensory overload.

What is your preferred learning method? Reading? Watching? Listening? Something else? Let me know in the comments below!

Think back to time you left a training or a meeting and could barely remember a thing that was said. We’ve all been there, right?

Chances are you were a victim of boredom by “lecture”. It’s the de-facto style in higher-ed and professional contexts; now its perilous hands have crept from real life into the online world.

You'll be saved should the presenter be one of the lucky few natural storytellers with the ability to engage everyone in the room (or virtual room). Sadly, most of us have experienced this and will unfortunately continue to experience exasperating presentations, trainings, and meetings.

What's your worst (...or memorable?!) lectured-to-sleep experience? If you're a trainer, what solutions work for you?
