Live Sessions and Webinar Style Learning 

 

Face-to-face training sessions can be a valuable and educational experience for learners. They have the opportunity to interact with the instructor and ask questions, resulting in better retention of the information presented to them.

The cost associated with these, however, are huge: travel and accomodation arrangements must be made, handouts and learning materials must be printed and many other things. With the Webinar Style Learning functionality, classroom training can be moved online to eliminate the costs associated with face-to-face training sessions and comes with many other added advantages.

Live Sessions and Webinars Style learning can be described as  virtual training sessions where a computer, laptop or tablet with a webcam are used for the instructor to present and the learners to participate in a training session.

Despite the fact that webinars are virtual, when set up properly, they can be more interactive and engaging than face-to- face training sessions.
