Short for Web-based seminar, a webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web. A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast, in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience. Source: Webopedia.

These online seminars use Webex to make them actual, live interactive learning experiences. Participants will be able to ask the instructor questions and get answers in real time. The instructor will be able to conduct polls and ask questions. Participants will receive course materials by e-mail prior to the seminar and will be able to view the instructor's PowerPoint slides during the seminar. These types of online courses have a much higher impact than simply reading material on the web. Webinars offer exceptional convenience and are very cost-effective. They are ideal for brown-bag lunch training. No travel is required and the site registration fee allows up to 12 participants to attend at each site. All participants can also earn one professional development hour (PDH) per seminar.

Who should participate?
This series of webinars is designed for engineers, scientists, university faculty, graduate students, manufacturers and consultants.

Registrations close the day before a scheduled webinar. Please register early as you need to have Webex set up on your computer.
