You have very eloquently described that lonely feeling that is all too common for many webinar "participants." The power of web conferencing is in its ability to facilitate a sense of community through interactivity, like chat, live audio, and interactive whiteboard, that enables participants to question, discuss, and share. Only then can true collaboration and learning take place. For many who are truly isolated by things like geography, economy, and disability, this enabling technology at its best can foster socialization, level the playing field, and enhance learning outcomes. - Beth, Elluminate Goddess of Communication Hi Kristina, Thanks for a great post!
