Activity 2: Webinar Preparations
Now that Amy and Tyrese have finished working on the PowerPoint ® slides, Juan calls a meeting for the group to brainstorm activities for participant engagement and discuss webinar logistics.
- Amy wants to set a tone of interactivity for the webinar. She suggests an opener to lay the foundation. An opener will get the participants to begin sharing experiences and building confidence with the technology. Which activity would meet that goal?

This is a learning activity more appropriate to challenge participants as they acquire information or knowledge rather than set a tone of interactivity.
- Before determining any activities, Juan asks the group to review the webinar platform to ensure the platform's selection of tools will support the engagement activities. Based on Amy's suggestion for an opener activity, you know these features will be needed:

Participants of a previous event may or may not be the appropriate audience for this event.
- Tyrese followed up with registered participants daily in the month preceding the webinar. What schedule would have been more appropriate for Tyrese to follow?
Try again!
The earlier you send invitations, the more likely it may be that participants will forget about your event.
Correct!
This schedule is a best practice to achieve an appropriate balance of communication.
Try again!
It is likely that participants may have conflicts for the time you have selected if fewer than four reminders are sent.
- Tyrese and Amy established their roles for the webinar. Tyrese's role was to engage with the participants and lead them through the content. Amy's role was to load and manage content, prepare activities to go live, and handle technical issues. What were their roles?
Correct!
These roles are identified as a best practice for conducting webinars.

- Tyrese and Amy felt ready to deliver the webinar. The webinar platform was chosen, invitations sent, registrations confirmed, roles assigned, activities planned, and content uploaded. You noticed other important details they had missed before the webinar date. What did Tyrese and Amy fail to do?
