“…M. Patel et al, 2020;Reissis et al, 2020). Furthermore, the use of webinar as the marketing and sales tool in internet marketing can manifest in knowledge sharing and demonstrations, further stimulate interactivity, personalization, and engagement with customers (Voskamp, 2012), as well as a useful educational tool to address management and industry issues related to equestrian practice (Pulec et al, 2016). Despite the abundant use of webinars in teaching, empirical research examining webinars in training contexts, human resource development, and adult education remains scarce (Gegenfurtner et al, 2020).…”

Objective- This article aims to discuss the authors’ own experience using a web-based seminar (webinar) as a new data collection method for a qualitative descriptive study on factors influencing digital banking adoption among potential users in Malaysia (Digital Banking Study). Design - This will be the first study to gather information from industry players and public perception towards digital banking service using webinars, with evidence compared to the study’s quantitative results. Findings – Data derived from webinar sessions are consistent with the quantitative results, and the potential of its uses as a new research tool was discussed in detail. Policy Implications- The findings showed several practical implications that are potentially useful for researchers, academics, and business analysts to consider adopting webinar data as a new qualitative data collection method. Originality - This study documents the supporting evidence of the potential use of webinars as a useful tool to collect quality observation data.

“…Topics in equine welfare or care are primarily included in surveys reporting extension program needs [20,29,46] or information-seeking behaviors of the equine industry [24,25,27]. Although online learning tools such as webinars [47] or websites with timely topics in equine care [48] have had a positive impact, they have focused on animal care or emergency preparedness, not actual crisis event communication. In response to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, extension programs provided specific recommendations for equine facilities to execute social distancing recommendations as well as access to additional resources [49,50].…”

The purpose of this study was to learn how perceptions of accuracy and availability of sources affect how members of the Colorado equine industry seek both everyday information and information during an equine disease outbreak. A survey was distributed by email and social media to members of Coloradobased equine organizations. A total of 256 survey responses were obtained from individuals representing a spectrum of ages and roles in the Colorado equine industry. Survey participants predominantly identified as female (95.3%) and their industry role as a horse owner (41%) or a competitive (25.8%) or pleasure (13.3%) rider. Younger survey participants reported greater (P < .0001) use of social media, and both participant age (P < .015) and information source (P < .0001) affected the perception of resource accuracy. In the event of an equine disease outbreak, industry role was an important factor (P ¼ .003) in the selection of news sources, whereas age was not (P ¼ .19). Many participants (56%) identified disease symptoms/signs to be the most important information to be sought during a disease outbreak and most (69.9%) preferred state or veterinary resources for this information. The identification of why Colorado equine industry members access information from specific sources may guide animal health and extension professionals to tailor their online presence to best meet the communication needs of the Colorado equine industry.

“…ebinars are a technology that has advanced greatly among researchers and extension workers in the past decade (Verma and Singh, 2010;Zoumenou et al, 2015). Various groups have championed its use as a way to conveniently disseminate research outcomes to stakeholders (Allred and Smallidge, 2010;Formiga et al, 2014;Hoke et al, 2018;Pulec et al, 2016;Rich et al, 2011;VanDerZanden, 2013;Zavell et al, 2017). Although the technology has been available for several years, challenges to successful implementation still exist.…”

Webinars have become an important aspect of many extension outreach programs, especially for large research projects that cover wide geographic regions. Evaluation of webinar impact is important to funders and stakeholders alike. Surveys to gather direct and indirect data can be used to evaluate webinars for their overall utility. The results can inform funders of program success and also serve as an indicator of the continued viability of webinar programming for extension audiences. The Northern Grapes Project administered a webinar series on topics related to grape (Vitis sp.) and wine production from 2012 through 2016. Thirty webinars were delivered to an audience of 3083, with nearly an additional 2400 views of recorded webinars. To estimate the value of the series, we modified two models, one that estimated viewer time investment and one that calculated the “green savings.” In addition, we surveyed webinar participants, asking them how much they would pay to watch a live webinar and access the archives, as well as how much money they had earned and/or saved from the information presented. Together, the models and survey indicated a webinar series value of nearly $3.4 million.
