What is a Web seminar?
NCTE Web seminars are interactive, multimedia professional development experiences delivered over the Internet featuring some of NCTE’s most experienced presenters. During a Web seminar, attendees are able to participate in the session by responding to polls, providing feedback on the whiteboard, and asking/answering questions in the chat area. Elluminate Live!^TM, the application used for the Web seminars, ensures that all participants are in sync, regardless of Internet connection speeds.
