For my first post on this blog I would like to explain what Live Online Learning is and why it is beneficial for both the host and the participant. The subsequent posts will be focused on webinar best practices/tips, e-learning news, and the occasional opinion regarding Live Online Learning.
Live Online Learning is a phrase we use to describe web seminars or webinars. It is the most effective method of distance learning and can be adapted for a wide range of training or educational purposes. Live Online Learning provides the best of both e-learning and classroom education by using a one-to-many web seminar (webinar) allowing for the benefits of e-learning (no travel, decreased costs, etc) as well as the benefit of being taught by a live person! As the course is delivered by a live instructor, participants have the ability to interact with the instructor and other participants, creating a more fulfilling online learning experience. Having this live interaction with an instructor fosters increased participant attentiveness and knowledge retention.
Whether you are a large corporation, trade association, learning institution, training provider, or small consulting firm, Live Online Learning is something you should be considering if you haven’t already. Everyone wins with Live Online Learning:
Hosts:
- Drastically reduce the cost of training/educational events
- Reach a larger audience, unrestricted by geographic location
- Realize higher profit margins
Participants:
- Reduces the cost of attending a training/educational event
- Eliminates travel expenses (flight, hotel, rental car, food, etc).
- Increased efficiency
By implementing a webinar delivery model everyone involved saves valuable time and money!
Live Online Learning is also the name of our company; a webinar support provider focused on helping other organizations provide their training and educational programs using webinar technology. We use years of expertise and practical applied knowledge to rapidly deploy unique live online learning programs that meets the specific needs of each client.
