I’m going to be presenting half of a workshop on “Training That Travels” for the Golden Gate Chapter of the American Society for Training & Development on August 9th. My co-presenter, Ron Person, will address the topic of “Low-Cost Webinars, Videos and Portable Videos”; I’m going to be talking about podcasting yet again, this time from the perspective of corporate training. Details and registration information follow.

TRAINING THAT TRAVELS

Low-Cost, Just-In-Time Training Our students are in a learning vise. They are being squeezed between:

• Staying on the “learning edge” to keep their careers moving
• Fitting learning into their tight schedules

In these two sessions you will learn how to create engaging “training that travels.” This training will help your students stay on the “learning edge” while they stay on the run. Developing training that travels is easy-to-learn and meets the cost constraints faced by companies on even the tightest budgets.

Podcasting for Professional Trainers

Presented by Sallie Goetsch
Back in the 1990s, you needed a recording studio, a production company, and a distribution service if you wanted to provide audio or video instruction.

Podcasting is changing all that. Now anyone can record and distribute their courses via the internet. Cutting-edge corporations are using podcasts for internal communications and training.

Learn the basics about podcasting and the advantages of this new delivery channel for professional trainers:

• Stop juggling time zones
• Make your instruction portable
• Save travel time and expenses
• Promote your courses
• Provide updates and follow-ups
