Interactive Training with 'Interact and Engage!'

Convince your online participants to tune in—and get them to interact and engage!

Kassy LaBorie - Interact and Engage, Producing Virtual Training Author

Virtual classroom training is here to stay, and web and video conferencing is ubiquitous. Interact and Engage! offers proven strategies for captivating your live online audience. With more than 50 interactive training activities ranging from openers and icebreakers to closers, virtual event and instructional design experts Kassy LaBorie and Tom Stone present a framework for igniting online training programs, meetings, and webinars.

Engaging online audiences can be difficult. This is true for novice instructional designers and facilitators—and for experienced ones. Learn how to break the mold of static lecture-style online training that drives participants to multitask or, worse, tune out. LaBorie and Stone cover all the steps necessary to remedy poor online training experiences and ensure that what you teach sticks.

Interact and Engage! 50+ Activities for Virtual Training, Meetings, and Webinars by Kassy LaBorie and Tom Stone, was published in 2015 by ATD Press. Purchase from any of these locations:

A word from Kassy…

In 2015 I co-authored Interact and Engage! 50+ Activities for Virtual Training, Meetings and Webinars (ATD Press).

The book was my dream of a practical resource, much like a cook book full of recipes, that could be pulled off the shelf and used at any time engagement online was needed!
