Webinar

The weekly introductions on this "learnmoodle" course are good examples of a webinar.  The term webinar comes from a combination of web and seminar. As in a seminar there is a degree of interaction in a webinar, even if there are teachers/presenters taking a leading position.

Features of a webinar are...

  • that all participants are online,
  • there are one or more speakers presenting information
  • the"audience" can send in feedback or questions in some form and the presenters therefore interact with the audience

Often a webinar is recorded so that those who couldn't take part "live" can still see the webinar.  See also "Adobe Connect".
