Reimagining the Online Instructor: Keys for Learner Engagement
Speaker: Juan Mavo Navarro
Have you noticed that your learners are not attending your online synchronous activities, or their involvement is declining? Have your webinars become monologues as opposed to dialogues? Are your learners extremely silent or dangerously passive? As an online instructor, you might have been hired solely based on your industry expertise and passion for the subject matter, but that's not enough today. This session will help you understand what other roles you need to fulfill to achieve your true potential and promote true learner engagement. Moreover, we will explore eight ready-to-apply ideas for learner-centered online synchronous activities and will analyze how they are related to your different roles. This session was recorded at the ATD 2019 TechKnowledge conference in West Palm Beach, Florida.
