Hey, welcome back to build winning courses. This is step seven of final step, assessing for mastery. And today we're going to talk about lesson six webinars, which really doesn't quite belong with assessing for mastery, we need to talk about it anyway, when you deliver a class online with video so that people can see and hear you and you may have an image of them as well as a chat box or not, you're doing a webinar. Now when you do a webinar, you may choose to record it so you can deliver a live webinar and then you can rebroadcast the recorded webinar over and over and over again, that means that if you're testing or assessing for learning in the live webinar, you'd be using polling. But if you use a rebroadcast and webinar, you'd be assessing using a paper or an online test that you deliver later or perhaps you break up the webinar and inserted in between there are a lot of options you have.

Let me start by giving you the basics of how to build a webinar since you've already got all the elements necessary in The work you've done so far. So the first thing about creating an effective webinar is you need to create a suitable blueprint which details the flow that your presentation is going to take. And guess what your content analysis which you did early early on in this process can be very helpful. Now your textual content, you don't want to mimic what you're going to say on the slides. For example, you might notice that the slides are present you give you maybe, oh, just a little bit of the content, an idea of what we're going to talk about. So their key words rather than full sentences.

But now, here's the thing about these slides. In a classroom, you can take a slide for two to three minutes, you've got maybe 20 to 40 seconds to detail what's in your slide to folks. This includes your transitions, your annotations, your sex and highlights. So it's not a lot of time, you've got to be succinct. Graphics are also a big part of this. And now if you use graphics or charts, you've got to explain them only to the level of the context needed by the moment Not the whole nine yards.

That's boring and it reduces learning. So you want to use visual clues like one word descriptors or figures or percentages to help people learn. And the audio is really the key here. You want to use minimalistic onscreen text, audio that can explain contexts and concepts in a very time limited span. Once you've done that, the challenge is how do you assess people? Well, if it's a situation where the grade or the score or the assessment of the group is more important than on the individual, you can use on screen polling in the live broadcast.

Then in your later replays. You can insert an online quiz in front of the poll. That makes a big difference because that way, you're asking people to take the assessment before they see how the actual class did. But do remember you can assess in webinars, and you should, especially in certification courses, but your certification course assessments need to be documented and you need to tie them back to your content outline and your objectives. So this is a little bit about how to build webinars and how to assess them all in one. See in the next lesson.
