Here at ADL, we try to adhere to the "practice what you preach" adage, so we regularly offer a series of online webinars. These instructor-led sessions take just an hour or two of your time, but you can benefit greatly from being able to chat with the knowledgeable experts who lead the sessions as well as share tips with the other participants. Being able to ask your questions and get immediate answers is a big plus. And did we mention that all ADL webinars are free?
That’s right! Each webinar has 25 virtual "seats" available on a first come, first-served basis, but those who register in advance have first priority. Webinar topics are repeated regularly, so watch for schedule updates in the ‘Events panel’ on our home page in case you missed a particular topic. We’re always adding new webinars to address the five main areas of
what we do: look for our Introduction to SCORM soon and for future announcements about webinars on virtual worlds and serious games.
We’re justly proud of our webinar presenters, the people behind the presenters’ voices. They represent a breadth of experience and expertise in distance learning.
