How it Works

Live online sessions are highly beneficial when following an e-learning format. This is a great way to gain more information on the subject you are studying.

• A webinar is generally delivered live.
• The instructor takes on the role of talking while the attendees watch the content that is delivered through an online platform.
• In some instances, attendees can listen to the audio voiceover of the instructor while watching slides or a video demonstration.
• Attendees can interact during the webinar with the instructor, asking questions or taking a survey.
• Some webinars allow the audio system to be activated so that attendees can ask questions which can be heard by the others.
• It is possible for the host and attendees to have a one on one conversation if required.
• Webinars can be delivered in two ways, live and pre-recorded.
