What are Webinars?

A Webinar is a live seminar delivered over the web. The seminar information appears on a specific website when you log on with a password. You typically hear the audio through a speakerphone or as a live audio stream over the web. A Webinar is designed to be interactive between the presenter and audience. The audience can ask questions over the telephone or by typing in a question on the website, like in a chat room. Usually educational Webinars last 1-3 hours and cover a variety of topics such as higher education administration, teaching practices, student support services and uses of instructional technologies.
