What is a Webinar?
A Webinar is a Web-based seminar. You view the presentation in your Web browser on your computer screen through your Internet connection. You hear the speaker present the session live over your telephone.
What do I need to connect?
You will need a stable Internet connection (high speed is best) and a telephone to dial the toll-free number provided. If a group will be participating and viewing the same computer screen, you may wish to use a projector and a speakerphone.
How interactive is the Webinar?
You can hear the presenter and speak directly to him or her. You can also type a question, which the presenter may answer immediately or after the Webinar is over. During the sessions, the presenter may ask the audience a question through a poll and display the results immediately.
What happens after I register?
You will receive a confirmation by e-mail with information on how to log on as well as the toll-free telephone number to call and Webinar ID number to enter to connect. Be sure to save this e-mail.
How do I connect to the Webinar?
About ten minutes before the Webinar is scheduled to begin, open the e-mail confirmation and click on the Web address provided. You will then click to install a small plug-in that allows your computer to access the Webinar. You will see a "Waiting Room" if the Webinar has not yet begun. Call the toll-free telephone number provided and enter the Webinar ID to be able to hear the speaker when the presentation starts.
