What exactly IS a Webinar?
A Webinar (short for web-based seminar) is an online seminar put on by a host, where the participants watch the seminars from their computers. Typically, they are either watching a Powerpoint presentation, a live demonstration on the internet or an application, or a live video of people. Normally participants have the ability to interact, including the ability to give, receive and discuss information, rather than just receive it. Other names for a Webinar include: online seminar, online training, online education, virtual seminar, web seminar, webcast or web conference. This website is basically a directory of current Webinars, but anything scheduled and virtual can also be found here (including radio shows and teleseminars!).
How do I find out about new webinars?
There are a few ways you can find out about newly listed Webinars:
- Newsletter - Every Monday morning, we will send out an email with all of the Featured Webinars that are newly listed, going on this week, and going on next week. Be sure to register to receive our newsletter. (Featured only)
- RSS Feed – Subscribe to our RSS feed to receive all Featured Webinars and blog posts directly to your RSS Reader or Google homepage. (Featured only)
- Twitter - Follow us on Twitter, and we will tweet about newly listed Webinars, and 2 days prior to each Webinar. (Featured only)
- Facebook - Become a fan of our Facebook page, and we will update the page 2 days prior to each Webinar. (Featured only)
- Search - Periodically visit the Find a Webinar page to find what you are looking for. (Featured and Basic)
How often will I receive the newsletter?
The newsletter will be sent out every Monday morning, and will include 3 sections: newly listed Webinars, Webinars next week, Webinars this week. Only Featured Webinars are included in the email. Eventually, we will separate the newsletter into interest categories so you will only see the Webinars in areas that interest you.
What is the difference between Basic and Featured Listings?
Basic listings are free, and Featured Listings cost Webinar hosts a small fee, but come with an upgraded level of service, including better search results on our site, RSS feed and weekly newsletter listing.
Why do the newsletter and the RSS feed not show me all the Webinars I see on the website?
Only Featured Webinars are listed in the RSS feed and the newsletter, as these Webinar hosts have paid to have a more premium listing for their Webinar.
