Once the Web became inexpensive and fast, it became possible to conduct training not only in the format of document exchange, but also using tools such as podcasts and webinars. What it is? Podcasts are recorded video or audio content, and webinars are conferences in the form of video in real time.
Direct and Feedback
Webinars are possible if both users and the creator have the opportunity to work on a high-speed network. In order to enable feedback, chat is usually used. The webinar host answers chat questions as they appear. It is in interactivity that lies the main advantage that webinars give. What does it mean? The opportunity for the owner to respond to the needs of the audience and the opportunity for the audience to receive answers to the most important questions for themselves.
Prices do not bite
What are the benefits of such training? A webinar is quite inexpensive compared to a regular seminar. After all, if the information is broadcast on the Web, listeners do not need to travel, you do not need to spend money on hotels, you can eat the usual products at home without spending money on restaurants. Therefore, any special computer programs for conducting webinars in the end turn out to be cheap compared to alternative costs. In addition, a ticket to such an event is much cheaper than to a real seminar.
All involved
So, you have chosen webinars as a training tool. What does this mean in practice? Everyone is much more involved than with real training, because you can ask your question at any time, unlike a real seminar, when only one person can speak. The host of the webinar can see several similar questions in the chat and answer them, placing semantic accents in each case. As a result, the presenter sees what exactly interests the given audience most of all.
Repetition and teaching
Very important in educational practice and the ability to access the archives. As a rule, audio and video recordings are still available for some time online. Therefore, users can turn to the recording, pay attention to the nuances that are important in practice. And do not rely only on your notes!
graduate School
In the West, webinars have become common practice in online learning. There is a certain time convenient for many when a teacher goes online and answers the most difficult questions of students. This form of training is relatively inexpensive, and people who value their time and money began to prefer it to all others. So, students can watch a lecture late at night before bedtime, when it became available in webcast or screencast mode. Live broadcasts in the programming learning environment are very much in demand.
Webinars - what is it? The opportunity to study in comfortable conditions and maintain live contact with the teacher, the opportunity to feel like a citizen of the digital world, the opportunity to develop and help others. Participate, create, try! This type of training is the future.
