A webinar is an interactive seminar conducted over the web and is typically 1.5 to 2 hours long.

• What is the process?
  Webinar participants log into the webinar site with a password sent via email. Participants can print handouts, as we send you a link to the presentation via email approximately a day prior to the event. Once logged in, you are able to see the PowerPoint slides, ask questions and make comments via chat, very similar to instant messaging.
  
  
• Is there a recording available?
  Approximately one week after the conclusion of the webinar, you will receive a link to the recording which is good for institutional access for one year and can be forwarded to all faculty and staff for viewing anytime, anywhere.
  
  
• What equipment is required?
  An Internet connection, computer speakers and LCD projector are required if a large group is viewing the presentation. Participants can call-in via phone for the audio if they are having troubles with the audio over the computer.
  
  
• What are the technical requirements?
  Innovative Educators uses WebEx as its web conferencing provider. If you have not previously attended a WebEx event, please go to http://developers.webex.com/api/jointest/index.php to make sure your computer is compatible with WebEx. Be sure to complete this test prior to the live event. If your test link does not work, please try downloading Mozilla Firefox and run the test again - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

• Cost-Effective: No travel required. Webinars are an innovative way to provide your entire faculty and staff with a variety of professional development opportunities for one low price! The more you train - the more you save, as the registration fee is per institution, not per person.
  
  
• Easy: You will receive a detailed list of instructions via email a week prior to the event. And if you run into any problems, we're always here to help.
  
  
• Interactive: Chat online with presenters, participate in online polling questions, discuss specific situations with your colleagues, and receive implementation strategies for your campus (included when appropriate). You can even join a discussion group to continue the discussion with the presenter and webinar participants.

• Value Added: When you purchase a webinar, you also receive institutional access to the recording, which is good for one year. Access to the recording is unlimited, and faculty and staff can access it as often as they like from any location.
  
  
• Satisfaction Guaranteed: Our webinars are 100% guaranteed. Thus, there is no risk. If you are not satisfied, we will give you a credit for a future webinar or an On-Demand Training of your choice (of equal or lesser value).

  • Hybrid: Distribute the recording to all faculty and staff at the beginning of each month and plan a discussion session at the end of the month to determine how you will implement the strategies presented.
