Objective: To help Volunteer Managers prepare and deliver engaging remote learning experiences and understand what software to consider.

“Alright, Volunteer Managers! We are going to explore a very important type of communication technology that has changed the way in which we gain knowledge in modern society.  By the end of this module, you’ll be able to confidently and safely use technology to develop and deliver webinars and learning sessions online!

Have you ever used FaceTime, Zoom, or Skype to video chat with your friends, family, or colleagues? They are all similar to webinars. So, think of conducting a webinar presentation as if you’re delivering a learning session over video chat.

A webinar –– short for web seminar –– is an online educational presentation. It is fully live and interactive, meaning you’ll be addressing your webinar participants in real-time. They’ll be able to ask and submit questions throughout! Think of a webinar as a live video call in which you’re also able to share a visual presentation with the participants, to support their learning session.

Many teachers and educators find webinars to be the best way to empower remote-based learners, which is why they are often used in business and educational settings. They enable you to interact with participants live, but also to share videos, photos, slideshows, documents, and more!

Remote learning became common during the COVID-19 pandemic, so rest assured that it’s been tried and tested! Webinars have been proven to be a very accessible way to learn; you speak to participants, with the text and visuals on their screens helping them to read and follow along…

Video chat and webinar software enable you to interact with and present learning sessions with your volunteers or stakeholders for one-to-one or group sessions – you may be teaching one individual or many, all at once! Webinars allow multiple people to tune into a live presentation and interact with your lesson in real-time – perhaps the closest thing to delivering a lesson face-to-face, webinars enable us to reach people across Australia!

However, if you aren’t prepared for delivering a webinar, it can be difficult to ensure that your learners pay attention and get the most out of the experience.

But don’t worry –– we’re here to help you prepare and present with success!

Delivering a webinar is quite simple, once you know what to do and expect. After delivering a few webinars, you’ll become a pro! And as a result, you’ll engender growth, opportunities, and success throughout the communities you serve.

In this Module, we’ll give you all the tools and tips you need to deliver engaging remote learning experiences! We’ll help you understand what you need to consider when choosing the right software for your webinar, and explain how you can keep your volunteers, stakeholders, sponsors, and other learners feeling safe, confident, and empowered throughout their learning sessions.

Stay tuned, Volunteer Managers! Let’s learn how to help others learn to succeed!”
