The rise of web conferencing is evident. Web conference technologies provide a powerful tool for a wide range of activities. They offer an innovative framework for educational programs as well as networking possibilities. Web-based seminars, also known as webinars, have arisen from this new technology and are proving to be an increasingly indispensable tool for training and collaboration. Knowledge and experience in the field of new synchronous technologies are increasingly becoming prerequisites for professionals in higher education.
This webinar seeks to provide easier access to these technologies and through practical experience. It consists of 2 sessions each lasting 75 minutes. The live sessions will be complemented with further material as well as asynchronous discussions. The objectives are to familiarize with the functions of Adobe Connect and to lower the threshold for participants to organise webinars and online meetings themselves.
