How to hack it? To add buzz and brevity to virtual learning, the American Evaluation Association hosts routine “coffee break” webinars (opens in a new tab) that last just 20 minutes—about the time it takes to finish your cuppa joe.
The format keeps presenters on their toes, and each session delivers a bite-sized amount of information on niche topics, including evaluation tools and practices. Here’s an example of what an AEA coffee break looks like (opens in a new tab).
Why does it work? Each session is a microlearning opportunity for members to advance their professional development. After the webinar, the recording is made available to members only for playback in AEA’s Digital Knowledge Hub (opens in a new tab), an on-demand library.
What’s the bonus? If a topic is too complex to explore in a single session, AEA compiles several webinars into a coffee break series that can be sponsored by a partner (opens in a new tab).
