What are webinars actually?

A webinar is short for a Web-based Seminar- a lecture, presentation, demonstration of a new product,workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Internet. Webinars themselves may be more collaborative and include polling and question & answer sessions to allow full participation between the audience and the presenter. Questions may be garnered through a telephone connection or by typing into a question box to the presenter or moderator.
