What is a WEBinar?  It is the next best thing to a live classroom environment. We select themes for each quarter based on input from you - our customers. Sometimes, we have guest speakers and panel-of-experts presentations. Our presentations qualify for QAI recertification credits (CPE) and PMI recertification credits (PDU).  A WEBinar is a Web-based teleconferencing seminar with a teleconference telephone connection for audio. We use a special Web broadcast (interactive WEB cast) to present spreadsheets, web pages, documents, and Power Points together with interactive chat and graphics for presenter and attendees. 

What Does On Demand Mean? On Demand WEBinars are pre-recorded versions of past live WEBinars. We provide links to the pre-recorded audio, Power Points and documents.  No CDs are provided or mailed. Although not valid for QAI recertification credits, the contents can be downloaded and viewed at your convenience. For a short time after live WEBinar completion, a live "video movie" of the WEBinar is also often provided as a bonus for early orders.  This movie runs on Macromedia Flash, needs no special software, and can be played back directly from our site, or downloaded and played back from your computer.

Next: Assembling the Right Project Team

We make our WEBinars available in three (3) forms:

  1. Live to optimize attendee interaction,  and
  2. On Demand, or in archival or pre-recorded form, to fit your schedule and convenience. 
  3. Both Live and On Demand

Live

Live WEBinars require entry of the attendee's name and email address during payment.  The next email that you get after registration contains a link you use to join the meeting at the selected time, including links to test connectivity. 

A substantial discount for the On Demand version is available when ordered with the live WEBinar.

On Demand (pre-recorded)

  1. Past (previously recorded) We'll email you a link to a page on our website to download the On Demand WEBinar. The link includes  are shipped via emailed link to a hidden page on our website, which has links to movies, PPTs, audio files, and documents.

  2. Upcoming (to be recorded) We'll email you a link in the same way as a "past" (previously recorded WEBinar) automatically after the live WEBinar completes. 

Both Live and On Demand

Many live WEBinar attendees also like to get the On Demand version to have a good review, especially since PowerPoint files are only available with the On Demand order.
