The Training Show 0005
A special webinar episode of The Training Show
So why is it a special episode? Well I'm recording just before I go live with a webinar where I'm going to publish this show live … yes live in the webinar!
What's the webinar?
It's a webinar outlining the many uses of podcasting in Learning and Development. I'm delivering live to an audience from the Learning and Performance Institute. There will be a recording made available and as soon as I have the link I'll add it to the show notes.
I'll also make my slides available via slideshare and my blog as usual.
So if you have any interest in using podcasting in learning watch the webinar recording and let me know what you think. And even if you don't think you do take a listen - you never know what ideas it might give you! -
