  5. Class size What is the best number of students for effective classroom interaction?

  6. Class size • This consideration is similar to traditional in-seat classes…except, • Individuals judge the technology instead of the number • The larger the number the less the interaction

  7. Platforms • Go-to-Webinar • Live Meeting • Adobe Connect

  8. Platforms • Similar functions • Chat • Polling • Audience features • Audio • VOIP and telephone • Recording

  9. Platforms • Screen share vs. server-based

  10. Preparation and practice • Technology • Allow for development time • Allow for familiarization • Practice

  11. Constructing a Webinar Lesson • Objectives • Webinar interactivity techniques • Lesson outline • Webinar lesson checklist

  12. Objectives • Clear precise objectives keep our lesson focused • Enable us to prepare an appropriate lesson outline • Guide us to prepare appropriate type and number of interactions to achieve the objectives
