What trends are you seeing in live online education? It’s becoming essential that online learning opportunities, like face-to-face opportunities, include audience interaction. Yet I still see mostly lecture-driven presentations in which the only interaction is scheduled question-and-answer breaks. What’s important is what participants take from the program and how well they are able to apply it later; engagement enables that application. Mel Silberman, an educator and active learning “guru,” once said “It’s not what you give them; it’s what they take away that counts.” Speakers need to realize it’s not about them or their content; it’s about their serving as a “guide on the side” to enable participant learning regardless of the setting.
