A computer with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed. When you log into
the Virtual Seminar, your computer will be taken through a brief configuration

Successful WebinarSuccessful Webinar
1) Ask yourself (and others) whether a webinar is the right tool for
your needs. When determining whether a webinar is the best medium
for your needs, consider your audience, the subject matter, and the time
you'll need to cover your topic.
2) Recruit speakers and a support team.
Once you've decided that a webinar is the right tool for you, you'll
need to assemble a team of staff members or volunteers to help you run
it. In general, there are four main players in a webinar: the
organizer/facilitator, the presenter or presenters, and assistants.
3) Determine the format:- webinar can be structured in a variety of
formats to suit different purposes.
4) Plan your visuals. Plain slides with a lot of text don't work as well as
interesting visuals that illustrate the topic being discussed.
5) Pick a tool. There are dozens of Web conferencing tools out there,
offering a variety of features tailored to different need.

6) Create an agenda.
About three to four weeks before your webinar, hold a conference call with the
speaker or speakers and determine what questions will be asked and the order in
which the speakers will present.
7) Schedule a dry run.
A few days before your webinar, you should schedule at least one 30- to 60-
minute run-through with all participants to work out any unresolved questions or
technical issues.
8) the webinar tool you choose will determine the type of equipment you'll
need to run it. In general, you will want to have the following: Headsets, A
power cord, A network cable.
9) Set up a system for registering attendees and determine your price
structure. Before you begin marketing your webinar, determine what tool you
will use to register attendees
10) Publicize! It is important to get the word out far and wide about your upcoming
webinar, especially if you're planning to charge for it.
15. Advantages of WebinerAdvantages of Webiner
*Webinars allow you to conduct intensive meetings with full
audiovisual and action features with anywhere from two to
1000 or more people anywhere in the world.
*With webinar meetings, you can share your desktop files and
your computer's applications with any and all participants, and
you can even allow them to move objects around on your
computer desktop--and you can do the same with them.
*Everything is seen and heard in real-time, and anyone can record
the meeting in full from any point.
*Webinars also permit co-browsing, so that two or more people
can do the same Internet look-up at the same time--again, in
real time.
16. Advantage of WebinerAdvantage of Webiner
*Webinar technology also allows for and features a virtual "white
board", just like the erasable white boards in the traditional
conference room.
*Different participants can write on and erase things from the
virtual white board that all see, as long as the meeting's host
(you) gives them individual access.
*Polling and surveying just got much, much easier and more
thorough with webinar technology. Participants can easily and
quickly respond to poll or survey questions right from their own
computer .
*As long as you enable it, your webinar is fully recorded and can be
played back whenever you need or want, and of course you can
fast forward, pause, and rewind. Anyone who participated can be
given a copy of the recorded meeting, too.
17. Disadvantages of WebinerDisadvantages of Webiner
webinar is the fact that distraction is very easy.
because people have different learning styles. Some of us learn
through visuals, some learn through audio and some learn through
tactile experience. Webinars neglect people with hearing loss or
no sound on their computers (unless the webinars are conducted
by phone).
they do provide an interactive forum that is similar to a live
presentation, without the time or costs associated with traveling
to the event.
