Any Tips for Re-Purposing Webinar Content

Hi Lila!

If I were you, I'd treat the narration of the recording as the voice -over, and create an eLearning module the way we usually do - with graphics, animations, interactions et al. Introduce the course and the speakers, and then you can just go ahead and create a meaningful course! After all, since you are not just hosting the webinar clips but are interested in making an effective learning module out of the information in the webinar, you needn't be stuck with only showing the clips - if at all you wish to have the speaker on all slides, keep a photo as an inset image. I've had the opportunity to create eLearning modules out of webinars earlier, and I'd love to help out with ideas if I can! Drop me a mail and we could discuss in more detail: amit@aimsdigital.com

Hi Lila -

We are currently converting instructor-led training to eLearning. The advice I gave one of the instructional designers was to take a step back and pretend that the instructor-led training is just a SME content dump - ignore the activities (unless they actually inspire you for e-learning), ignore the order, etc. Just pretend that it's newly handed content from SMEs that you're working from.

Rachel and Amit,

Thanks so much, those are really helpful ways of thinking about re-working the webinar content! I  already have some ideas of how to make the courses more  than a re-hash of the webinar content based on your feedback.
