Supporting the presenters in a webinar seems at first like a simple task: Read an introduction, open and close the session, and look through audience questions.

You have a presentation plan and are ready to manage the flow and pacing of the webinar. You have contingency plans in place to deal with the potential for technical problems during the webinar.

Measuring Learning's Impact on your Business (Elluminate)
Wednesday, February 16, 1:00pm EST.
This session will highlight six approaches that practitioners can use to measure learning's impact on the business. The approaches range from the use of ‘smart sheet' evaluations to glean reasonable indicators of learning's link to business results to a highly statistical causal model that creates an optimization roadmap of the correct inputs that drive results oriented outputs. In between we will explore the use of benchmarking, conditional questions, consultative templates and correlation analysis to reasonably yet credibly show how learning influences a business or behavioral outcome. In addition we will underscore the session with the use of concepts like Six Sigma applied to L&D to optimize performance and minimize defects.
