Web-Based Learning
Opportunities
What is a web conference, you’re wondering?
 There are many different kinds of web conferences (aka webcasts,
web seminars or webinars), but most share the same basic format: An
audio conference with Web-based visual aids. In other words,
participants don’t usually see their presenters’ faces on their
monitors, but they can hear their voices—either through their
speaker phones or computer speakers—while watching the presenters’
slides or overheads on their computer monitors. Attendees can ask
questions by typing them into a special Q and A section on their
screens, and in some cases can forward questions to the moderator
via phone.
As is true with any new technology, web conferences may sound
intimidating at first, but nearly everyone who has participated in
one agrees that they are extremely user friendly, requiring little
or no “techno savvy” from you or your computer.
If you would like to recommend a topic for a webcast, please
