Development and Delivery of an Interactive Web-Based Seminar

Abstract

As technology improves our ability to exchange information, the goals of information exchange become more complex. Traditional means of transferring information, such as a conference or a journal article, may not be sufficient under some conditions. An audience may be spread over the globe, the information may not present well in a written format, more time may be needed than is allowed at a conference, there may be requirements to archive data so it can be viewed at a later date. These problems can be solved using the internet as an information transfer medium. A web seminar with live streaming audio satisfies these goals and can be implemented with minimal cost and effort.

In the past year, we developed and delivered a web-based seminar from the University of Missouri-Rolla to help disseminate material we created as part of an NSF-CCLI grant. As few ready-made, affordable options existed for delivering a web seminar at that time, we explored several methods of developing and delivering the seminar ourselves.
