Transform your live online training sessions with these core design
principles that drive real results.



Webinar overview

You’ll discover evidence-based approaches to structure your sessions with maximum impact – from nailing those first 5 minutes, to understanding how session duration affects learning outcomes. Ever wonder why participants aren’t asking questions? We tackle the silence puzzle head-on with practical solutions drawn from extensive trials and learner feedback.

Trainers who have mastered these fundamentals are creating and delivering online sessions that learners genuinely value and remember.

Alignment with RTO Standards 2025:

  1. Standard 1.1: Engaging, well-structured training. These resources equip trainers with practical strategies to create engaging, well-paced, and structured training that actively supports student progression and maintains learner interest.
  2. Standard 1.8: Fit-for-purpose resources. These insights provide guidance on selecting, creating, and utilising fit-for-purpose resources, content, and learning design approaches that enhance the learning experience and learning outcomes.
  3. Standard 2.5: Safe and inclusive learning environments. These resources provide innovative participation strategies that promote and support student diversity by enabling anonymous contributions, text-based engagement, and other inclusive techniques that allow learners from all backgrounds to participate equitably without fear of bias or judgment.

Standards 3.1 and 3.2: Continuing professional development. These professional development resources support trainers in developing and maintaining skills and knowledge in engaging, quality training delivery.
