How To Make Compliance Webinars Interesting

By Carolyn Ellis


Generally, even the most calm and collected business professionals find it hard to get excited at the mention of training seminars. While online compliance training is vital in maintaining standards and objectives, the thought of spending long hours clicking through modules or watching numerous tutorials is what springs to most people's minds. Making compliance webinars fun can help improve the trainees' learning experience. With a few tips, you could create engaging and dynamic webinars that people actually look forward to.

To develop the right content for your audience, it would help to get a glimpse into their general preferences. This would involve digging up some information on their professional and educational backgrounds. For your research, you could obtain the relevant information by interviewing various individuals and observing them while they work. This will help you know what learning approach works best for them.

To make the courses more interactive, you could incorporate a character into the modules. The character could adapt various roles, from narrators to facilitators, as long as they supplement your audience's understanding of the material. And in order to achieve this, it would help to dedicate some effort into character development to make it more relatable to the audience.

Interactive scenarios are well-suited for sprucing up learning material. This is mainly because they challenge learners to make choices that result to rewards or unpleasant consequences. As such, incorporating exciting real-world scenarios into your webinars will help the audience grasp the subject matter on an emotional level. While decisions made during lessons will stay within the virtual environment, staff members will see the value in your webinars. By adding exciting challenges into the training process, the experience becomes more productive and meaningful for participants.

Perhaps the biggest mistake most course content creators make is the use of rigid modules. This makes the courses appear menacing in the eyes of your audience. But just like humor works effectively in easing up tense social scenarios, so is the case with online compliance seminars. What really matters is the dose; you need just the right amount of funny elements to add humor while still retaining the respect of your audience.

One of the most common reasons why most people aren't quite enthusiastic about online training is how the typical course is structured. Due to the long modules, large blocks of text and numerous assignments, most trainees find the courses boring and arduous. You should therefore break down the courses into smaller modules comprising of bullet-point pieces of information. This minimizes the cognitive overload, thus transforming the training experience into an enjoyable, fun exercise.

Videos can be used to supplement or even substitute conventional presentation as a way of making the subject matter more engaging and fun. With them, you can use an entertaining storyline featuring animations, live actors and slides to wholly bring the audience into the learning process, all with minimal hindrances. And if the said elements aren't compatible with your content, you could just fetch a few videos from the web and embed them into the course.

Even the most mundane subject matter could be transformed into an exciting and educational experience with a few tips. Instead of viewing it as another arduous chore, the participants will see it as a good opportunity to have fun. This in turn means they're likely to grasp your content and retain it in their minds for longer.
