Other forms: webinars
A webinar is a class or presentation that takes place online. The advantage of a webinar over an in-person workshop is that anyone in the world can participate.
The term webinar, coined in the 1990s, is a portmanteau of web and seminar. While a traditional seminar brings together small groups of students to study and discuss subjects in depth, a webinar attempts the same thing via the web. To attend a webinar, you need a computer (or a smartphone or tablet), and an internet connection. Otherwise, it works much the same way, with opportunities to ask questions give comments, and join discussions.
