Even the most well-designed elearning program can fail if the delivery falls flat. Too many virtual trainings, webinars, and digital learning experiences suffer from disengaged audiences, information overload, and presenters who struggle to translate instructional design into compelling delivery.

In this highly interactive session, Bridgett McGowen will diagnose the most common problems that derail virtual learning experiences and show you how to fix them.

You will learn how to transform typical slide-based training into dynamic learning experiences that increase engagement, retention, and application. Through real-world examples, live demonstrations, and audience participation, you will discover practical strategies to strengthen delivery, leverage technology intentionally, and design presentations that actually support learning outcomes.

You will leave with actionable techniques that you can immediately apply to webinars, virtual classrooms, and digital training environments.

By the end of this session, you will be able to
  • Identify the most common presentation mistakes that undermine virtual learning.
  • Transform static slide decks into an engaging instructional experience.
  • Use interactive features in common elearning platforms to drive participation and retention.
  • Apply delivery techniques that reinforce instructional design goals.
  • Fix common webinar and virtual training breakdowns in real time.
