2. Learning Objectives
As a result of this webinar, you will be better able to:
Follow a process to identify the learning needs of your audience as you design educational offerings;
Utilize the learning needs of your learner to write objectives for educational offerings;
Consider the appropriate delivery method(s) for your instructional design, i.e.; in person trainings, virtual trainings, blended design, etc. to meet the needs of your learner and the subject matter.

3. Goal:
You are an OVW grantee who provides legal and advocacy services to survivors of domestic violence and you also conduct national trainings. Your goal is to create an education program for attorneys and advocates in legal organizations across the country on how to interview survivors who come to you for assistance with a child custody matter. You have sufficient funds to create a one day program and you have the flexibility to conduct the training in person, online, or in combination.
