What's a Webinar?
A webinar is a web-based seminar in which a live presenter speaks to the audience, usually over a telephone line, while audience members watch their own computer screens to view slides, video clips, etc, controlled by the presenter. The audience can use their own phones or a speakerphone to interject questions or comments and can reply to polling and question and answer sessions to enhance the educational experience.
After the initial, live presentation you can register to view each webinar on demand for 6 months.
