Webinar Specifications:
Teach-In webinars are live events delivered via a collaborative platform, Zoom.us. The format is an active dialog between the speaker and participants. Research papers, case studies or slides may be used but are not always necessary. Speaker will be provided with an invitation/link to join the Zoom conference in advance of the scheduled meeting. The Zoom platform will allow for screen sharing and recording and has a typed chat box feature for written questions.
