At a meeting of the Conference of the eLearning Guild Learning Solution this week (I) to facilitate the debate about the challenges and Solutions for Global Web conferences. The following is I have discussed to ensure a successful global Web Conference Group 9 tips:
1. Logistics: date and time that is in addition to choosing participants. in determining the time zone conversions, also a good idea to check the international holidays and in the target countries working week (Hint: it is not always on Monday-Friday).
2. language: select a language, you can use the Web during the dialogue. If English, international English, use is free of any cultural connotations.
3. pictures: Select images that correspond to the public, cultural and ethnic identity.If your audience uses the business suits and work of the Office, clear pictures of the Western office workers your material.
4. Colors: Checker color symbolism alignment web Conference materials and colors used in the check box.
5. content: culturally appropriate content and examples. be careful reference to sports, politics and jokes that may not be meaningful to the general public.
6. Learning styles: selection of exercises, which is aligned to the audience culture Geert Hofstede. dimensions of the national cultures is a good starting point.
7. Facilitation: Read clearly and enunciate.It is more difficult to comply with the spoken language of the person speaking is not visible, and this applies in particular to the person is speaking in a language which is not in their own language.
8. Exercise: practice using one of the target countries. By taking the time to practice can be much more likely to catch any problems that you display the preceding 7 tips. someone if you don't find the subject from the country, in order to provide against emergencies, someone who is not in your country, which also has the ability to use materials that fit and who need to adjust the references to point out that, with the culture.
9. Learner support: If you have another person, to help produce the Web Conference, use the chat play key learning points, such as the facilitator speaks. these key points should will be generally designated in advance and complete Word document, which cuts and pastes. Consequently, the producer of a chat script transcribed. chat area is used instead of only the key learning points to highlight key points.
