I can do it in my jammies!
I’m not sure how to pace the content
I can’t get feedback from my learners
It’s quicker and easier than teaching a “real” class

Tips
Reflect on what works for you
Keep you eye on the outcome
Consider the importance of learner engagement
Leverage the technology
Remember that the focus is the education, not the modality!
11
Developing Content Slides Select a font and type size that are easy to
read. Typically, titles should be 36-40, and content items should be no less than 24-28.
This is 40This is 26 This is 18
12
Developing Content Slides
Avoid “busy” slides – if you need to tell people “you probably can’t see this”, you probably shouldn’t use the slide
Hint:Maximum 6 itemsMaximum 6 words per item
13
Developing Content Slides Avoid colors that are hard to see when
projected or printedBackground colorWord color
This is hard to see
This is better14
Developing Content Slides
Use bullet points for key issues
Focus on themes, embellish with your comments
Don’t read slides!! (If there’s not much there, you can’t!)
15
Developing Content Slides
Are you redundant?
Can the learner get all the content by reading the slides?
What does your sharing add?
Story-telling is powerful!
16
Developing Content Slides
Include plenty of “white space” on your slides
Content is easier to see
Learners stay focused
Choose appropriate pictures
17
Developing Content Slides
Respect copyright laws!
Don’t use copyrighted pictures, diagrams, charts, or other materials without written permission
Maintain written permission in the activity file
OK to use quotes with attribution
18
Write It Down
What one strategy will you use to develop your slides in a way that helps you effectively facilitate a webinar?
19
Developing Content Slides
Some animation and transitions are ok
You can make learners sea-sick if you’re not careful
Too much movement distracts from the content

Developing Content Slides
Flying images can be distracting – or can make a point
22
Developing Content Slides
Transitions between slides can be smooth – or choppy
Typically, less is better

Something to Think About
Developing slides for a webinar is the same as developing slides for a “live” presentation.
1. Yes
2. No
3. Why are you asking this question?
27
Delivering Your Message
Prepare as if it were “real”
Picture yourself “in front” of the audience
Consider practicing in front of a mirror
Pace yourself comfortably
Don’t read!
Give yourself time to breathe – and think
28
29
Getting Learners Involved
Insert frequent reflection questions. Tell the learner at the beginning of the session that you will be doing this.
What do you think is the most important attribute of a good leader?1. Listening
2. Directing
3. Setting goals
4. Providing information
Getting Learners Involved
After asking the question – STOP!
Give the learner time to think.
Silence is VERY HARD on a webinar – but it’s important!
How long?

31
Getting Learners Involved
Use the chat box
Plan a dialogue rather than a monologue
Consider twitter
Other options
Write It Down
What is one way you plan to use to actively engage learners in the webinar experience?
32
Developing Content Slides
Check with an experienced colleague if you need help
Content
Formatting
Delivering
Other
33
Getting Learners Involved
Consider flipped classroom experience with pre-work
Have them complete relevant assignments during your session
Suggest having a pen / paper handy
Will participants will have a copy of your slides?
34
Completing Your Preparation
Practice!
Time yourself – content should be 45-50 minutes
The biggest tendency is to go too fast
Think and act like you’re having a conversation
35
References and Resources
Books, articles, web sites
Preferably within past 3-4 years unless classics
Can be smaller font than content slides
Can use 2-3 slides for this
36
All Done!
