A webinar is typically an interactive 60- to 90-minute presentation of PowerPoint slides and audio viewed in real-time over the Internet. Participants experience the event by logging on through their computer and connecting to a conference call with their telephone. No travel involved! During the session, participants view slides and use a chatroom, similar to instant messaging, to communicate with one another and ask questions of presenters.
REL-NEI Webinars provide an interactive forum for state education agencies, superintendents, principals, district-level specialists, association heads, state legislatures, teachers unions, and parent associations seeking applied education research to make policy and practice decisions leading to improved student achievement and reduced performance gaps.
