Moving presentations online: coronavirus, training sessions, and events
Coronavirus is causing businesses to cut or make drastic reductions in business travel, and to cancel or move conferences and events online. But conference organizers, training teams, and trainers still have jobs to do – so the question immediately becomes How do you do your job when people can’t travel or meet face-to-face?
It’s not a case of just taking your in-person content and presenting it virtually – if you’re to be effective you need to understand how online presentations are different for the presenter, their slides, and their audience. Once you’ve got a handle on that it’s a case of figuring out how you can eliminate distraction for your audience and engage them with compelling content. Join us online to find out how.
We’d love to get the word out there so that businesses can keep going as normal without feeling like they’re putting employees at risk. Sign up and share it with your colleagues.
As a Certified Training and Development Professional (CTDP) with years of experience working with associations, I am currently the Executive Director of the Institute for Performance and Learning or I4PL. Our purpose is to elevate the performance of the Canadian workforce.
This portal is provided as a training and development resource for City of Markham employees. Every course is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, is quantifiable in hours, and is verifiable — you receive a documented certificate of completion for every course you finish, stored on LearnFormula indefinitely.
If you hold a professional designation (for example in engineering, accounting, human resources, or law), courses may be counted as professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities toward your continuing professional development. Individual practitioners are responsible for confirming that an activity meets the requirements of their professional body. For questions about the City of Markham's training and development policies, please speak with your people leader or Human Resources.
