(90 minutes) Assessing and identifying organizational training needs from the outset is important for designing and preparing educational materials to achieve the desired learning outcomes. In order to be effective, both training and facilitation take deliberate planning and leader-participant engagement. This webinar will take participants from needs analysis to evaluation and will include a behind-the-scenes look into tips, tools, and techniques used by presenters in order to effectively lead participants through training objectives. These simple techniques will help trainers, speakers, and facilitators approach their next learning session with confidence.

We recommend testing your browser as soon as possible in case you need to contact your IT department for help.

• It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser.
• Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
• Make sure that your internet browser is Active X enabled.
• Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
• We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
• It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
• Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
