Multitasking is tricky: To some it hurts productivity and creativity, but to others it’s a badge of honor, enhancing the way we work. The truth is, 94% of your virtual viewers are likely to switch tasks frequently, texting, talking, emailing and social networking. What’s more, at least 60% of your audience will access some other content of some type (PowerPoint presentations, Excel document, or PDF job aids) while you're speaking.

If distraction is imminent, how can you handle this while delivering training?

Join us for this TrainingIndustry.com webinar, presented on the Adobe Connect platform, as we show you how to use the power of multitasking as well as how to control the limitations. Online learning expert Dr. Carmen Taran of Rexi Media will show you how to:

• Benefit from implementing four training techniques to minimize the temptation to multitask. Using these techniques, you will deliver training in such a way that if someone walks in and tries to talk to any of your viewers while you're teaching, they raise their hands to implicitly ask that person to wait until the segment is over.
• Use four tools to design sessions that send viewers where they will be multitasking anyway, but in an instructionally-enhancing and engaging way (e.g., Using text, email, and social networking to solve a real-life problem).
• View practical example to learn how to address current multitasking challenges that are impacting the way you design and deliver training.
