A webinar, or a virtual symposium, is a gathering where information is delivered via the Internet. Those who participate can participate wherever they are. The only essential prerequisite for attendees of a virtual seminar is having a computer device equipped with an internet connection.
Webinars, becoming ever more common today, can efficiently distribute the content and afford the audience a greater opportunity to participate in the discussion than traditional seminars.
Webinars use live online conversations to bring instructive material to a broader audience and have an accessible, interactive format. The presenters are usually expert speakers within different fields. In each area, expert speakers are named to present so that participants may obtain new knowledge and real-time inquiries. The content is wide-ranging, from basic lectures to demonstrations to intensive training or even panel discussions. Furthermore, webinars are often recorded and can be viewed later whenever.
In comparison to face-to-face seminars, webinars are packed with advantages. Their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced reach due to the Internet add to their enhanced appeal. More importantly, because webinars can be easily archived and reused, they provide an excellent method of disseminating information and help us build an extensive database of a wealth of scholarly resources.
There is no denying that the webinar is one of the most sought-after information channels that makes room for a widening audience and can effectively reach different types of gatherings.
