Creating a New Webinar Experience with Live Demonstrations

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Penn State Extension Food Safety and Quality team developed a series of home food preservation webinars. A unique feature of the webinars are the live demonstrations. This webinar describes the development process and use of multiple cameras for a more engaging experience.

Participants will learn about capabilities within a Zoom webinar conference to engage the audience and enhance educational delivery. Specifically, participants will learn how to: set up and use multiple cameras for live demonstrations, optimize Zoom settings for the best participant viewing experience, manage the chat and Q&A pod, set up an automatic survey link, direct participants to a specific website following the webinar, and other best practice tips.

Presenters:

JCEP Extension Leadership Conference Request for Proposals - Deadline October 30, 2020

The Extension Leadership Conference Planning Committee is pleased to invite Extension educators, specialists and administrators to share their expertise at the 2021 Extension Leadership Conference. The purpose of the conference is to support and challenge Extension Professionals in their leadership development journey nationwide, across all disciplines. This virtual conference provides professional development that addresses leadership and management skill development critical for building confidence in today’s emerging Extension Leaders.

As we meet the challenges of more virtual programming, we encourage proposals that are original, engaging, significant, high quality, clear and relevant. All presentations, workshops and posters will be presented with time for a question and answer period. The proposal should raise and discuss issues important to virtual exchange and engagement and should be applicable across Extension disciplines with national applicability. Please be clear on the intended outcome of the session.

The presenter’s teaching methods should include techniques that participants will be able to duplicate in their own workplace.

Some themes that may be considered include, but are not limited to: Communicative Leadership in a Challenging World, People Management, Practice through Virtual Exchange (tools, support, technologies, education, opportunities), Evaluating the Impact of Virtual Exchange and Transferable skills, Critical Perspectives towards Social Justice, Diversity and Equality in a Virtual World.
