Since March 2020, many business and educational activities have been converted to an online mode. Suddenly, face-to-face meetings with customers and clients were replaced by virtual meetings, and many training events were converted to eLearning. In order for your online presentation to have the same impact as live events, you need to pay close attention to a few important aspects. <\/b><\/p>\n

Online events with online presentations like webinars, are a convenient and cost-effective way to hold events and meetings. Compared to the effort involved in organizing a live event, for example in a convention center, an online event requires significantly less effort. Nevertheless, there are some important things to keep in mind when conducting online presentations or training.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Use the following tips to prepare your online presentation or training webinar.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

BEFORE YOUR ONLINE PRESENTATION <\/b> <\/span> <\/span><\/h4>\n
\n
1. DEFINE YOUR GOALS<\/b><\/h5>\n

First, determine why you want to conduct an online event. Do you want to fill skills gaps among your employees ? Or do you want to pass on important information to a target group that is important to you? <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Specify  the goals as precisely as possible. For example, employee training in area XY, information transfer in area Z, retention of skills and knowledge, etc. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>

2. CHOOSE SPEAKERS AND GUEST SPEAKERS<\/b><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n

Perhaps your online event is very complex and needs to be broken down into individual subtopics. You may need speakers for special topics who are particularly knowledgeable in this area. If you need additional partners for your online event, you should make a list of people who are obligated to participate in your event. <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WEBINAR PLATFORM<\/b><\/h5>\n

There are a lot of webinar hosting tools available now, such as Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, GoToWebinar, etc. You should take a close look at the pros and cons of each provider and make your choice at your leisure. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. MAKE SURE YOU USE A SECURE REGISTRATION PROCESS<\/b> <\/span><\/h5>

<\/span><\/div>\n
Your online event should be absolutely secure, especially if you want to share sensitive information such as company metrics and policies. This can be achieved through a registration process where access is password protected and by invitation only. Most platforms offer the option to automatically admit participants , you should work with passwords.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
5. START A TEST RUN<\/b> <\/span><\/h5>

<\/span><\/div>\n
To avoid any unpleasant mishaps during your event, you should first perform a “dry run”. To ensure that everything functions smoothly, test runs help to uncover and eliminate possible sources of error. This way you will also quickly learn how to use the various features such as file uploads, live polling, screen sharing, chat messenger during your online presentation.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
6. SEND REMINDER E-MAIL<\/b><\/h5>\n
 <\/b><\/div>\n
 As soon as your participants have registered bindingly for your online event, you should remind them beforehand once again in good time. For this, you can usually use the webinar software to send another reminder via e-mail days or hours before the start.<\/span> <\/span><\/b><\/div>
\n

DURING THE ONLINE PRESENTATION<\/b><\/h4>
\n
7. AVOID DISTRACTIONS<\/b><\/h5><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You want your attendees to focus on the content of your slides and nothing else. Therefore, keep   background that your camera captures free of clutter. Avoid background noise such as dogs barking, signals for incoming emails, etc. Make sure you are neither too bright nor too dimly lit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>

8. ENSURE THE UNDIVIDED ATTENTION OF YOUR PARTICIPANTS<\/b> <\/span><\/h5>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At home in front of the PC, distractions can be especially great during an online presentation. An email comes in, a text message pings here, a roommate opens the door. Distractions that don’t exist like this at live events. The bad thing about this is that you don’t notice whether your participants are listening or doing something else. Online events that are followed from a computer must therefore be designed to be particularly exciting. Use a short quiz, a poll, show sensational pictures, tie in an exciting Animation<\/a> on. In short, try to captivate your audience. <\/span> <\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
9. PROVIDE A RECORDING OF THE ONLINE PRESENTATION<\/b> <\/span><\/h5>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
A recorded online presentation is a great help for those who registered for the webinar but were unable to attend the live session for one reason or another. You can email them the recorded online presentation so they can view it later at their convenience. <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

AFTER THE ONLINE PRESENTATION<\/b><\/h4>
\n
10. GET FEEDBACK FROM THE PARTICIPANTS<\/b><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
