From October 7-10, you have the opportunity to learn and refine presentation skills, led by a bevy of experts sharing practical advice. I was honored to accept an invitation to present twice during the conference. I’m not entirely sure, but this may be the first time they have included sessions devoted to presenting to remote audiences as opposed to general presentation skills for in-room presenters.

  • omNovia Adds Webinar Features

    Ken Molay
    10 May 2012 | 6:36 pm
    omNovia doesn’t put out formal software releases with version numbers. Instead, they just slip new features into production every so often, which means I always seem to be playing catch-up with new functionality. They announced three new enhancements this week. AV Remote Control gives a webinar moderator control over the webcam and microphone of other presenters. The moderator can adjust video quality or microphone volume, and can instantly kill the video or audio feed from a given presenter. I like this for two reasons. The more dramatic and entertaining scenario is the classic one where a…

  • Active vs Passive Webinars

    You can make your webinar descriptions, invitations, and presentations more effective. Engage your audience with active terminology. Don’t run away yet… I am not going to turn this post into a rehash of that long-ago grammar class in school that made you permanently hate the English language in general and writing in particular. You can look up detailed descriptions of transitive vs. intransitive verbs somewhere else. In fact, some of what I will recommend doesn’t match up with formal definitions of active vs. passive sentence construction at all. So you grammar jocks can put away your…

  • Should Webinar Presenters Split Up?

    Ken Molay
    2 May 2012 | 5:00 pm
    Let’s examine a common scenario… You plan to give a webinar presentation with another person, each of you taking some time as co-presenters. Is it better to be in the same room or in separate physical locations? My preference is for the latter. But I recognize and want to go over the arguments for both approaches. Presenters who prefer to stay with each other in a room typically like the following aspects: You can run the presentation from a single computer. There is no fumbling around as you try to pass presentation control back and forth from one person to another. It is easier to…

  • Making Your Presentation Understandable

    Ken Molay
    1 May 2012 | 12:28 am
    “Everybody will know what I mean.” Five of the most dangerous words a presenter can use. Whenever you find yourself saying this sentence to yourself or to another, chances are very good that you are wrong. Webinar presentations are even more susceptible to the problem of communication assumptions because of their limitless global reach. Anybody, anywhere may watch your content. You can’t look out at a roomful of faces and make a snap decision that most are from a cultural, professional, and generational background that matches your own (not that you’d be right about that anyway).

  • Microsoft’s Lync Online is not for everyone

    admin
    14 May 2012 | 3:40 pm
    When we last tested Lync Online the tool ranked 15th in our comparison of online meeting solutions. Back then the software had just passed the Beta phase so we wanted to now see how the online collaboration tool had been advanced over time. Our first finding: Lync Online is not meant to be used as a standalone self-service web conferencing solution and setting it up requires substantial IT expertise. It may sound unproblematic that you need to open and configure your “personal” Office 365 cloud instance to run Lync Online, but we find Office 365 to be a very complex SaaS platform…

  • Blackboard Collaborate: an LMS gone astray

    Normally Blackboard Collaborate wouldn’t have made it into our ranking. The vendor fails to deliver one element we see as crucial: making pricing information openly and easily accessible. Even searching the Blackboard website for quite some time left us none the wiser in that regard. Now there are two reasons we decided to test and rank Blackboard Collaborate after all: We were curious to see how the successor of Ellumiate vRoom would do, a tool previously ranked 18 in our comparison of online meeting tools. The renowned IT-research organization Gartner Inc. lists Blackboard as one of only…

    A week ago we became a registered Cisco partner – after unsuccessfully trying back in 2009 – and were quite happy about this. We needed some help for details regarding the creation of WebEx trial account links and were invited to a web conference with Cisco partner support – naturally via WebEx Meeting Center. We had an online meeting from our office in Frankfurt, Germany with a US-based representative and after further evaluation with a Cisco European Partner Advisor professional based in Portugal.
