What is a Webinar?
A webinar (web+seminar) describes a specific type of web conference. It is typically one-way, from the speaker to the audience with limited audience interaction. A two-way webinar can be collaborative and include polling and question & answer sessions to allow full participation between the audience and the presenter.
