Whats a webinar?
A webinar is essentially an Internet-based presentation. It allows attendees to listen to a live speaker and view graphics such as charts or slides from the convenience of their own computer. In contrast to a seminar, attendees are not present in the same physical location as the speaker. In contrast to a webcast, which is more or less a broadcasted lecture, a webinar allows attendees to participate in live, interactive chats, and ask questions of the presenter or other attendees.
A Webinar is a Web-driven workshop. It is “asynchronous,” meaning that it does not take place in real time. Instead, you log in to participate when you have the time. Webinars are focused on the organizational communication profession: public relations, employee communications, media relations, investor relations, community relations, and other communication disciplines that target key organizational audiences.
