This webinar begins by teaching you an esoteric skill that you could use to impress your family members and friends. We then walk you through alternative approaches for teaching the same skill in face-to-face, self-instructional, webinar, and e-learning contexts. You discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches and figure out when to use which approach. You also discover the universal principles that add instructional value to all of these alternatives.
