A Tutorial for Presenters on How to Use MegaMeeting for an Online Webinar

ADDIE Project
ED PS 6430
Analysis
Though many workshop presenters are well versed in how to effectively run a workshop
in a face-to-face setting, very few have the experience or added knowledge necessary to
successfully present their material in an online environment. As technology becomes more and
more prevalent in the everyday lives of ASL (American Sign Language) interpreters, there is a
growing need to access continuing education material online. This in turn requires presenters to
gain the skills necessary to transition their material online.
Instructional Goals
The goal of this instruction is to teach presenters the technical aspects of how to use
MegaMeeting online webinar software as well as best practice principles which will allow them
to successfully present their workshop online.

Learner Analysis
The presenters are already well versed in their content area. They have a working
knowledge of basic presentation software such as PowerPoint. They know how to follow a link
to access online content.
Learning Context
The instruction will take place live in an online webinar environment (MegaMeeting).
This means that the presenters will have access to all of the software, tools and hardware that
would be required when they present their own workshop. They will need access to a webcam,
mic and, an internet connection. Because they will be learning in the very environment they will
later be teaching in, they will be able to practice with the software and tools hands-on during
instruction.
