Online webinars



Nowadays it is easy and cheap, to use the internet for communication with others.

Most people  use only emails and the social media.

 But there is much more possible:

  • online phoning and  online video conferences  ( using for instance skype:  www.skype.com )

Skype is simple to use and can also be used with smartphones, which can save quite some money, if one has to do far distance phone calls.

But it lacks several features  compared with edudip, which makes the last the better choice for online reports and especially online seminars:

  • private and public seminars
  • number of participants  ( 500 in the free version and unlimited in the paid version )
  • duration ( 60 minutes in the free version and unlimited in the paid version )
  • Sale of webinars is possible

and  several more useful features. Just have a look at their website.

Assuming, that your internet bandwidth is large enough and you have a high speed internet connection, then  this is an excellent tool, to inform and educate people.

And for such a purpose  it can be used by:
  •  private groups 
  •  companies 
  • organizations 
If only informations  are exchanged, then it is as good as  face to face meetings, saving a lot of  time and money for all participants.

Best is, to take part at some free  webinars,  then offer some  free webinars    and later decide, if one should use the paid version.
