A webinar is a live meeting that takes place over the web. Webinars consist of a PowerPoint presentation, with the speaker discussing the presentation just as he or she would at a conference presentation. During a webinar, however, the presentation is remote and the participants cannot see the speaker. Participants in different locations "login" to the meeting host (in this case, GoToWebinar) via their computers and watch the presentation on their screens. The audio portion of the meeting is via telephone on the conference call number provided in the registration confirmation. Some webinars are one-directional (meaning the attendees watch passively); others are more interactive, where attendees interact with the moderator, each other, and/or the documents being viewed. AAIDD webinars are all minimally interactive, giving participants a chance to ask questions of renowned presenters they may not have a chance to meet otherwise. Participants can use the webinar toolbox on their screen to type questions to the presenter. It is most helpful to participants to log in to the webinar and call into the conference line several minutes in advance of the start time, to ensure everything is working properly before the webinar begins.=0D=0A PRIORITY:3 URL:http://www.aucd.org/template/event.cfm?event_id=2063&id=965 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
