With over 100 active groups and nearly 5,000 users, NTEN's Affinity Groups platform is an incredible resource for those in the nonprofit tech community. There are a variety of discussions constantly taking place, ranging from the very basic and elementary aspects of technology in the nonprofit sector to the more sophisticated and technical.
A lively discussion recently occurred in the general NTEN Discuss Affinity Group about running a successful webinar. Here's a summary of some general tips:
- Cap the participants at 10-25, so it is easier to take questions and have more interaction
- Mute participants if more than 10 to prevent sound problems
- Take questions via chat, having a facilitator read them when the presenter stops to take questions
- Asking potential questions yourself can stimulate participants
- Use pictures and diagrams, and try to have live demonstrations in the presentation (preload any websites)
- Ensure that more than one person has a copy of the PowerPoint presentation, including a hard copy, in case of technical difficulties
- Perform a test run before the actual presentation
