Training webinars have replaced Death by PowerPoint as the most B-O-R-I-N-G instructional technique. In this walk-the-talk webinar, Thiagi and Tracy share an interactive approach called LOLAs (Live Online Learning Activities) for improving and increasing the level of engagement and effectiveness of virtual classrooms. LOLAs have been field tested several times last year at the Training Magazine Network webinars. They are now ready for you to adopt and adapt them to suit your training needs and objectives.
