Research shows that 65% of folks on a video conference are multitasking. One way to avoid these negatives is by using asynchronous communication. Asynchronous communication uses pre-recorded video instead of in-person meetings or live-streamed video. MORE

Your reps will tune out, start multitasking, and fail to retain what you hoped to teach them. Determine what can be delivered live and what can be recorded and presented asynchronously. There’s no one size fits all for sales kickoffs—especially these days. MORE

Video is an effective and considerate way to communicate that lets prospects view your message on their own time, asynchronously, when they’re not jumping from call to call or juggling other work and family demands. When was the last time you recorded a selfie video? On vacation? MORE

Build an Asynchronous System for Work-from-Home Training. Instead of dictating when training happens, design your system to be flexible and asynchronous. Asynchronous training allows room for life to happen. Asynchronous training systems require a lot of planning. MORE

In todays’ time-crunched, attention-deficit and multitasking world, micro-learning seems to have cropped up as a possible solution to corporate learning and personal development. It can happen anytime, anywhere, in any form – synchronously, asynchronously, and semi-synchronously. However, what exactly is micro-learning remains a bit of an elusive concept with different people defining it in different ways. Should it be something that takes less than 5 minutes to consume? MORE

Valerie Wilson: make it so fast you can’t multitask. Is the forum the way to handle that, with asynchronous responses? These are my live blogged notes from the webinar How to Create No Lecture Webinars by Ray Jimenez , presented through Training Magazine Network. Awkward phrasing, grammar errors, and typos are mine errors, not Ray’s. My side comments in italics. Key Idea. MORE
