It’s no secret that we are living in the golden age of innovation. We are in a time when the world is often literally and metaphorically at our fingertips. This has impacted the way we approach, consume, and interact with life, business, and learning. These approaches have shaped, changed, and evolved with the expansion of the digital sphere. Take webinars, for example. While they have been around since the end of the 1980s, it is only in recent years that they have gained popularity and traction.
A webinar is defined as an online presentation, lecture or event that is virtually hosted by a company or organisation on a particular topic to an exclusive audience or select group of people. It is sometimes also referred to as a ‘webcast’, ‘online event’, or ‘web seminar’. They provide an easy, interactive, and flexible way for you to learn and connect.
There are multiple reasons why webinars have been around for over four decades. As a virtual classroom session, live-streamed directly from our classroom- webinars have a lot to offer you, both as an individual (looking to up-skill yourself) and a business (looking to engage and interact with your customers). The benefits of webinars include the following:
- Convenient and cost-effective: webinars can be hosted or viewed from virtually anywhere making them convenient and easy to attend. If you aren’t able to attend classes at a NOSA College, you are no longer constrained by the limitations of transport and travel and their associated costs.
- Networking and tailored content: Webinars enable you to actively interact and engage with the organiser and other attendees. This provides a great platform to engage, learn, and grow from one another as well as offer tailored content (adjusting your content based on questions asked) that provides tremendous value for the audience. From asking/answering questions, chatting to fellow attendees or the organiser, interacting or creating polls and surveys, the learning possibilities created through webinars are endless and unique.
- Learn from industry experts: you are able to learn from industry experts all around the world. You are no longer limited to learning or interacting with industry experts in your city or country. Webinars allow you to gain valuable knowledge and up-skill yourself from anyone across the globe.
- Limitless access to learning: most webinars, especially educational webinars and masterclasses are recorded allowing attendees to rewatch the event or lecture. This allows you to refresh your knowledge whenever you need to.
