Online Tools Program Description:

This special series is designed to help you be a more innovative communicator online. Our instructor is Darin Eich, a Madison-based leadership and innovation consultant who has extensively used these tools in his work with clients. You can look over Darin’s shoulder as he uses productive and inexpensive (mostly free) online tools to communicate to deliver and build an online program. We will show you how we do what you will be a part of - a webinar - while we are doing it. We will convert the webinar into an online course or program that you can access again to go at your own pace, or build something of your own when you are ready.

Here is what we will cover over the 4 sessions:
1. How to reach out to your audience, get people to signup, use registration tools, communicate with your audience and find out what they need.
2. How to design a more engaging and collaborative presentation or program that is what your audience wanted (based on the survey). Design your strategy with the online resources available.
3. How to do the presentation or program online or webinar style using tools and tips to make it more engaging and interactive.
4. How to assess what you did with analytics, convert your live program into a "product" or program that can live on and that people keep utilizing and finding value.

This program is for educators, entrepreneurs, communication specialists, managers, leaders, and anyone who would like to take advantage of online tools to be more productive, collaborative, Tech-savvy, and innovative as a communicator. We will keep it simple and present this for an audience who is still in beginner mode, so everyone should be able to gain something they can put to use and get results right away. Our goal is to help you create your own webinar, online program, or website to host it on.
