3.4. Presenting the Stimulus Material

Teacher in front of a chalkboardThis step is commonly referred to as content presentation. You are presenting content that will stimulate learning. The lecture format is typically used to present information in a webinar. This is acceptable, but don't forget that you need to structure your lecture in a way that maintains participant interest.  Talking non-stop through a set of bulleted text items will not do that.

Methods for presenting the stimulus material include:

  • Demonstrations
  • Examples
  • Videos
  • Organizing and chunking information in meaningful ways
