ON-LINE DISCUSSION
An "on-line discussion" is an informal conversation that participants can access by phone or on the internet.
PRE-RECORDED/INTERACTIVE SESSION
In a pre-recorded/interactive workshop, participants are given access to a full-length, pre-recorded video of the presentation they can view any time 2 weeks before the interactive session. The presenter is available for follow-up questions and answers at the scheduled webinar time.
Advantages of a pre-recorded presentation:
- Participants can view the presentation at a time that is convenient to them.
- Participants can stop, pause, and replay the presentation.
- Presentations given to a live audience usually have more energy than those given to a video camera.
- Participants have time to formulate questions.
