Lesson 2: Enhancing Webinar Participant Engagement

The delivery component of the rubric has three indicators: variety, reflection, and transitions. Variety keeps things interesting, reflection gives participants time to absorb key information, and transitions between presentation modes should help participants follow the logic and flow of the presentation.

Some key delivery best practices described in the video are:

• Change presentation modes every ten minutes. For example, switch speakers or interact with participants using a poll or Q&A session in chat. In other words, do not talk non-stop throughout your presentation.
• Provide participants opportunities to reflect and absorb the information. Do this by summarizing information or asking a question and pause briefly while participants respond in the chat window.
• Ensure you transition smoothly when switching speakers, slides, activities, and so on. This is best achieved by practicing your talk in advance.
