About Web Courses

Webinar courses are live, online training sessions where Delegates can engage in real-time with Trainers through video, audio, and screen-sharing. Webinars often include presentations, Q&A, and discussions, providing a learning experience that caters to a range of learning styles. As web Courses are hosted online, Delegates and Trainers can access the Course from any location with an internet connection.

Benefits

Here are the benefits of using Web Courses

Cost-efficiency	Web Courses are typically more cost-effective for both the Delegates and the Training Provider! Delegates do not need to pay for transport, accommodation, or additional equipment, and the Training Provider does not need to pay for a venue or catering.
Content delivery methods	Web Courses allows Trainers to include a range of media options to deliver the Course content including presentations, live demos, interactive elements (polls and Q&As), this all makes the learning experience more engaging.
Recording Capabilities	Web Courses can be recorded to reference back later, allowing the content to be shared with Delegates who may have been unable to attend.
Availability	Web Courses can be attended from anywhere with internet including those from different geographical locations, allowing you to reach a wider array of Delegates all over the world!

Key Terms and Glossary

Trainers	Trainers are responsible for leading the Course and educating the Delegates, Trainers are sometimes referred to as Instructors, Teachers, or Facilitators. Trainers may be granted access to a My Teaching portal in your accessplanit platform to access information about their Courses and complete actions such as mark attendance.
Webinar Links	Rather than Venues, Webinar links are used so your Delegates can access your Training online, whether this be Teams, Zoom or an alternative Online meeting software, your Delagtes can access the Course from anywhere
Sessional	Sessional Courses are multi-part Courses, as the Course is split into multiple parts, they can be used to track attendance on multiple-day Courses, they can be used for Courses that contain a combination of delivery methods such as classroom, web, and eLearning elements, and they can be used for Courses where you need to use different Resources on different parts - such as a different trainer on each day.
Delivery Method	The Delivery Method is where you can categorise your Course as ‘In-house’ Course which typically means it is being scheduled exclusively for a specific customer, or whether it is ‘Public’ where anyone is able to book this Course. To change the options available in your Delivery Method drop-down box, please get in touch with a member of the accessplanit team.

FAQ’s

Whats the difference between Web Courses and eLearning?

A Web course has advantages over eLearning because there is real-time engagement with the course tutor and the other delegates. It is a virtual classroom environment that often makes use of webcams and a step-by-step lesson from the tutor or trainer that is carried out at a speed that suits the whole class' learning ability. A webinar is live and can be interacted with, meaning that questions can be asked, and information can be reviewed and talked about in more detail if required. An eLearning course, on the other hand, is predetermined, and the learner cannot interact with others through the course.

What are the advantages of a Web Course over a Classroom Course

Firstly, the Delegates do not need to travel to the course, saving money on travel, accommodation, venue hire, and opening up the course internationally. If, for whatever reason travel is not possible, a Delegate can get the same level of engagement in a Web Course as they can in a Classroom Course without the worry of finding the location, arranging the travel, and navigating to the venue.

Where can I add my Webinar Links?

Web Courses differ very little from Class Courses; they contain many of the same fields and are set up similarly. However, they do not need to include a venue as they are delivered online. Instead, Web courses have a section called Webinar Details where you can enter a webinar link to send out to Trainers and Delegates ahead of the Course start date.

Webinar Links can be entered under ‘Webinar Details’ under the Course ‘Details' section when creating the Course. Any webinar software links can be added here such as Teams and Zoom

You can now integrate with Teams to automatically generate Teams links for your Delegates https://accessplanit.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3838607361
