participant and presenter Can utilize National presenters without the

travel expenses Eliminates facility and food expense Can hold one session instead of multiple

sessions on a regional basis

for networking and planning Can record sessions to make available on-line

or on CD

Challenges

Difficult to know if participants are retaining anything or engaged

Distractions (email, co-workers, paperwork) Not as stimulating for some Technology can fail (one phone line, internet

service is down, etc) Interaction

Evaluation, Feedback & Lessons Learned

What we learned…

Types of Evaluation

Instant feedback - online Follow-up evaluations – email Poll questions (pre/post) - online Mid-session evaluation - phone

Things They Liked

presenter Times of session (usually over the lunch hour)

Lessons Learned

Need to have multiple presenters (3) Interaction is critical Opportunity for Q&A between presenters Visuals are important (slides, text boards, polls,

application sharing – web tours)
