Choosing The Wrong Video Conferencing Platform<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must choose the best tool for the job. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/top-10-video-conferencing-systems-for-elearning-professionals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>video conferencing platform<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should support the desired number of users and allow you to incorporate multimedia elements. Of course, your budget is also a factor when choosing the ideal software. Try out some free trials or demos to see if the features are worth the investment and if the video conferencing platform offers the level of interactivity you require.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Lack Of Preparation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Online training webinars require careful planning and organization,<\/strong> especially if you want to stay on topic and respect your employees\u2019 time. Thus, you need to create a detailed outline or script to map out your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/optimize-digital-learning-strategy-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>strategy<\/strong><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Narrow down your learning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/training-goals-business-strategy-alignment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">objectives and goals<\/a>, then use them to develop key online discussion points.<\/strong> You can also invite employees to suggest topics they&#8217;d like to explore during the online training webinar or analyze your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/lms-metrics-elearning-professionals-should-look-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>LMS metrics<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to identify knowledge and skill gaps you need to address.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Treating Participants Like Passive Observers<\/h3>\n<p><strong>One of the biggest mistakes webinar hosts make is lecturing instead of leading a meaningful <\/strong><b>online discussion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Your employees are there to engage in the online training experience, not sit idly by while the host talks at them for minutes on end. Ask questions and invite their input. Open the door to your attendees so that they can share their ideas and thoughts. You might even consider a Q&amp;A session at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Trying To Cram Too Much Information Into A Single Online Training Event<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are, you\u2019ve attended at least one\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/elearning-events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>online training event<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the past that left you feeling overwhelmed. The host bombarded you with numerous facts and stats, and your brain simply turned off halfway through. A truly effective online training webinar is targeted. You must focus on one topic or learning objective to prevent cognitive overload. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This also <strong>gives you the chance to explore the ideas and concepts fully without having to skip from one category to the next in quick succession.<\/strong> It may be wise to get your <\/span>Subject Matter Expert<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involved, as they can help you sort through the information and pick out what\u2019s important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Foregoing Rich Multimedia<\/h3>\n<p><strong>High-quality audio<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> is a crucial component of your online training webinar.<\/strong> However, it\u2019s not the only consideration. You should also integrate other sources of media to enrich the online training experience, such as images, graphics, online training characters, and charts to cater to different learning preferences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This also helps<strong> improve knowledge retention and employee engagement.<\/strong> The key is to include just the right amount of <\/span>multimedia<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Only add audio and visual elements that are relevant to the subject matter. In addition, avoid distracting images and background tracks that overshadow the key takeaways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9095 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TLMS_20171009_1200x314.png\" alt=\"Top 8 Mistakes To Avoid When Hosting An Online Training Webinar - TalentLMS Blog\" width=\"1200\" height=\"314\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6. Skipping Social Media<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Online training webinars should never be standalone activities.<\/strong> It\u2019s best to pair them with real-world activities, brainstorming exercises, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/tags\/social-learning-tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>social learning<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tools. Namely, social media groups or pages where employees can carry on the online discussion, even after the online training webinar has concluded. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>You might even create a hashtag for the event so that employees can exchange ideas and share feedback in real time. In addition, upload resource links to social media sites after the fact to encourage self-guided exploration. This gives employees the power to improve their comprehension whenever it\u2019s most convenient.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>7. Forgetting To Record The Online Training Webinar<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>You\u2019re missing a golden opportunity if you forget to record the online training webinar.<\/strong> Not only do absent employees miss out on valuable information but you also aren\u2019t able to use the recorded online training webinar as a just-in-time online training tool. For example, you can break it into topic-centered sections and add them to your\u00a0<\/span>microlearning repository.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>You can even transform it into a mini online training course by integrating supplemental online resources, such as real-world activities and online assessments.<\/strong> This is yet another reason why it\u2019s so essential to find the right authoring tools. Ideally, the Webinar platform should make it easy to edit your recorded online training webinar and embed resource links.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>8. Failing To Gather eLearning Feedback From Attendees<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Employees who attend your online training webinar are able to provide a unique perspective of the experience.<\/strong> They can tell you what needs to improve, what\u2019s working, and which topics they\u2019d like to see in the future. Thus, you should never pass up the opportunity to gather eLearning feedback from participants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conduct online surveys or polls after the fact to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses.<\/strong> Invite the attendees to a <\/span>focus group<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where they can express their honest opinions. You can even use social media to gauge their interest and get the inside scoop, as they are more likely to open up in a less formal setting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>After you gather the data, use it to continually improve your hosting strategy as well as your eLearning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/how-create-interactive-online-training-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">course design<\/a>.<\/strong> For example, create more personalized online training materials to cater to their needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These mistakes can decrease the value of your online training webinar and call your online training credibility into question. Fortunately, this article can help you avoid them altogether and keep your employees engaged and entertained. <strong>Just remember that it takes a significant amount of planning, scripting, and content curation to host a winning online training webinar.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you need more tips on how to host a successful online training webinar?
