What is a Webinar?
Short for Web-based seminar,
it is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the
Web using video conferencing software. A key
feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give,
receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast,
in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction
between the presenter and the audience (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/Webinar.html).
Here is a chance for you
to participate in a Webinar:
Greetings from the Regional English
Language Office (RELO), U.S. Embassy Jakarta!Our 16th webinar course
entitled Shaping the Way We Teach English. The 6 online seminars of the
course will be related to English
Teaching Forum and are intended for teachers of English or future teachers
of English around the world.
The series will run from April 22 to
July 1, 2015. Each 90-minute webinar will be held every other Wednesday at 8
a.m. and 1 p.m. in Washington, DC. Please check http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html for the
time in your region.
Your computer must have Adobe Flash
Player, which comes pre-installed on most computers worldwide. If prompted to
do so, you may download the free player at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Please note that we only have 75
slots available. It is on a first come, first serve basis. Participants who attend
4 out of the 6 webinars will receive e-certificates from Regional English
Language Office in Jakarta. Participants are encouraged to join the associated
Ning (http://www.shapingenglish.ning.com) to
participate in discussions, view or download video and other materials from the
sessions, and access recordings of the webinars.
Viewing sessions are also available.
If you are a representative from your institution (an English Department, a Language
Center, MGMP, etc.) you might want to consider being a viewing host and invite
other teachers to join. This allows many more teachers to participate. We’re
enclosing Viewing Session Guide for further information. Please indicate this
if you’d like to be a viewing host.
