About Webinars
What is a webinar?
A webinar is a live interactive presentation between a presenter and an audience where each participant sits at his/her own computer, and is connected to the presenter and other participants via the internet. Webinars typically follow an agenda and have a specified starting and ending time.
How does it work?
Webinar offers the audience both visual and auditory access to the presenter and the information shared.
- Visual: Presenters share their knowledge and information via Power Point presentations that invite participant interaction through live chat, auditory questions, and the use of emoticons and a white board.
- Auditory: Using VoIP, participants listen and respond to the presenter through their computer microphone and speakers. Use of the text chat and emoticons ensures that every voice can be "heard" by the presenter throughout the presentation.
