DESCRIPTION

Are your webinars exceeding your attendees’ expectations? In this session, Amanda and Paul will share their organization’s best practices for creating an extended learning experience for educational webinars. By using social media to facilitate informal learning before and after a webinar, the organization creates an organic buzz that has doubled webinar attendance. Amanda and Paul will also address how to create a podcast of a webinar using low-cost or open-source technology. Participants should be prepared to share their own webinar tips during this session.
