What is a webinar?
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 username and password sent
via email. Participants can print handouts, as we send you
a link to the presentation via email approximately 2 days 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 yours for one year and can be
forwarded to all faculty and staff at your institution for viewing
anytime, anywhere. What equipment is required? An Internet
connection, computer speakers and LCD projector if a large group is
present. What are the benefits of
a webinar?
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. Join discussion groups at www.weeklyinnovations.org . Practical: Our
training sessions focus on the most critical and relevant issues facing
educators today. Our primary goal is to provide participants with
the information, training and skills necessary to immediately implement
positive change at their institutions. Top-Notch Speakers: Our
speakers are subject matter experts and recognized in their
field. Value Added: When you
purchase a webinar, you also receive access to the recording, which
is good for one year. You can use it wherever and as often as you
want, offering consistent training to your faculty and staff. How will we use these trainings?
Flexible Training: Live: Promote
and attend a live webinar and debrief immediately following. Hybrid:
Distribute a 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. On-Demand:
Distribute a recording to faculty and staff so they can watch
anytime, anywhere. Contact Innovative Educators at val@ieinfo.org , and we will
create an online discussion group specifically for your institution at no
extra charge. In-Service Training: Plan an
in-service around a live webinar or schedule a day and time to show the
recording in a lecture hall or large conference room and invite faculty
and staff to attend - brainstorm and discuss implications for your
college. Staff Recognition: Develop a
program around the webinar with monthly themes and recognize the staff
members that implement the best idea related to the theme. Team-Building: Utilize
these webinars to develop cross-functional and cross-discipline teams to
foster collegiality. New Employee Training: Include
these webinars and the free recording as part of your new employee
training program to ensure consistency. Implementation
and Follow-Up: Use
the guide and evaluation materials provided by Innovative Educators to
plan, implement, and track your progress. .
