Introduction:
The term webinar is short for Web-based Seminar, a presentation, workshop or
seminar that is transmitted over the Web (Internet).
Webinars are of generally two types depending on the interaction level between
the audience and the speaker.
When interaction is one-way, from the speaker to the audience with limited
audience interaction, such one-way broadcasts are perhaps more accurately called
webcasts.
Webinars can be more collaborative and include polling and question & answer
sessions to allow full participation between the audience and the presenter.
