The wonders of technology
right in your computer!
Isn’t it great to sit in your office (or at home), in comfy shoes and clothes, and speak with participants who’ve joined you in an online webinar? People who want to know what you have to offer them and want to learn from you?
How amazing it is to be able to talk without any interruptions to divert your train of thought, share your knowledge, and let the participants get a peek at you through your camera…
And it’s all so easy, accessible, fun, and inexpensive!
It’s hard to believe how simple and convenient it is to share your knowledge via the internet!
Thanks to the wonders of technology, we can connect and share our knowledge with people all over the world.
Here’s a comparison between a frontal session and an internet session (webinar)
Interactive digital session
- A webinar can take place wherever there’s a computer.
- The number of participants is almost unlimited. It’s not uncommon ot have 1,000 or even 2,000 participants.
Invitations are issued by an email software, just like a mass mailing. - Registration is automatic. Usually, there’s no need for any other contact.
- There’s no need to worry about fancy refreshments.
- Participants get their own, at home.
- Participants submit payment before the internet course by secure internet credit card payment.
- People can stay dressed in whatever they’re wearing, including comfortable shoes.
- Participants from the other side of the world can join.
There’s no need to worry about connections. Everything happens through your office or home network. - People joining the webinar late don’t cause any disturbance.
- People who can’t make the webinar can access the recording.
- During the lecture’s question period, the lecturer can choose what questions to answer and when, so that there are no disruptions during the talk itself.
- All you need is a computer and the internet!
Physical frontal session
- Requires a convenient location with plenty of parking.
Is limited to a certain predetermined number of participants. - Requires that invitations be sent, sometimes by snail mail.
- Requires telephone RSVPs.
- Requires there be hot and cold drinks as well as appetizing snacks.
