1. OUT OF THE BOX
How should you get ready for a Webcast?

In “The small, empty space” on Feb. 25, University
of Arizona psychologist Robert Cialdini suggested
practicing with a live group at least once.
Then, Cialdini suggested, “imagine the audience” and
remember where you must alter your presentation pace.
Berkeley, Calif., e-learning consultant
Jay Cross ( jaycross@internettime.com )
takes issue with that advice.
“Better than practicing on people before the
presentation is to record the live session in
front of a small group,” says Cross.
“No amount of imagination is going to substitute
for real human interactions.”
Cialdini told e-News he was taken aback by the strict
confines of the studio in which he recorded.
To which Cross retorts: “You don’t need a sound booth to
record a Webcast. I suggest Bob get out of the box.”
