“…Test the quality of the webinar audio with your phone. Generally, it is advised to present using a headset or handset connected to a landline, rather than a speaker phone or a mobile phone (Guanci 2010;Lande 2011;Bedford 2016). We have found it best to mute all participant phone lines to minimize ambient noise, including music and voice recordings that may occur if a participant puts the call 'on hold.…”

Educators are increasingly invited to present via webinars rather than in-person. Webinars offer multiple advantages over in-person presentations, including the ability to speak to participants across a wide geographic area and the possibility of reduced financial and time costs for the webinar organizer, speakers, and participants. To capitalize on these advantages, educators need strategies to present effectively using this medium. Here we provide 12 tips for effective webinar presentations based upon best practices identified in the literature and the authors' experience organizing educational webinars. The 12 tips are: (1) Learn webinar logistics, (2) Conduct a needs assessment, (3) Write specific learning objectives, (4) Attend a webinar, (5) Create clear, engaging slides, (6) Develop interactive learning activities, (7) Familiarize yourself with the technology, (8) Practice your presentation, (9) Be organized, prepared, and energetic, (10) Evaluate participant learning, (11) Learn from feedback, and (12) Share your experience with the organizer. We hope these tips help presenters improve the quality and effectiveness of their webinars.

“…To date, little has been published on the effectiveness or value of interactive, synchronous webconferencing for professional education purposes. An emerging body of articles is starting, however, to present a favourable picture of webconferencing for graduate students [1], medical residents [2], and nurses [3], as well as to establish best practices for webcasting and webconferencing for CE purposes [4,5]. Finding insufficient published material to guide our estimation of the value of webcasting and webconferencing for our association's purposes, we embarked upon our own pilot project.…”

The purpose of the Health Library Association of British Columbia (HLABC) WebcastingÁWebconferencing Pilot Project was to assess the feasibility and value of using Web-based technologies to improve access to continuing education (CE) events and meetings, particularly for our association's rural and remote members. By offering online access to CE events and other Chapter activities, we aimed to facilitate professional development and networking opportunities for our members by enabling those who have previously been unable to attend CE events and meetings to participate online. From June 2010 through May 2011, HLABC offered web access (via WebEx Meeting Centre) to all of our association's events. To assess value and feasibility, we conducted post-event surveys and a whole membership final project evaluation. The overwhelming majority of respondents were enthusiastic about the project's ability to increase event access. Lessons learned from the project include the need for sufficient IT troubleshooting time as well as ways to change meeting culture to better include online attendees within a primarily face-to-face event. An unanticipated benefit to the project was the ability to spontaneously create collaborative new programming, such as an online journal club. At the end of the pilot project, our association resolved to adopt Web delivery as an ongoing strategy, raising member dues a small amount to partly defray the cost of the technology.
