What is a Webinar?
A Webinar (short for „Web-based Seminar“) is an interactive presentation, conducted via Internet. This presentation is supported by a telephone conference. This enables the moderator (in this case DDI) to go through the presentation and answer participants’ questions. Furthermore, questions can be entered online and small surveys including evaluation (“polls”) can be conducted during the Webinar, etc. All these details will be defined in the beginning of the Webinar.
What you need to participate?
Participants of a Webinar need a Computer with stable and fast internet access and a telephone. If you registered for a Webinar, you will receive a registration confirmation. Registered participants receive further details 1 week before the Webinar via E-Mail (log-on information). This E-Mail will be resent as a reminder on the day of the Webinar. The E-Mail includes a link (to Microsoft Office Live Meeting), the meeting ID and dial-in details/conference title. Shortly before the Webinar, simply click on the link, enter the ID and dial-in (you may will be asked the conference title). That’s it! The moderator takes over.
What you should do as a participant before the Webinar.
We recommend to check your Computer on time before the Webinar (system compatability check). If you are a first time user, please also check your system to make sure it is ready to use Microsoft Office Live Meeting. The link to the system compatability check and to Microsoft office Live Meeting is included in the „log-on information“ which you receive via E-Mail.
Costs?
No participation costs. Possibly telephone expenses.
