Webinars

What is a Webinar?

Blan Harding.jpg
  • A Webinar (also known as a "webcast," a "web conference," or a "virtual seminar") is a live event presented over the Internet. 
  • NACADA's Webinars are 60-90 minute, focused presentations concerning topics of importance to academic advisors and advising administrators. Start-times for each broadcast are listed on the individual event pages (See "Upcoming Webinars" link at left.)
  • All NACADA Webinar presenters are currently actively involved in academic advising on their campuses.
  • Webcasts may be viewed by individuals on their desktop/laptop computers or by groups in conference room settings using computer projection technology.
  • (Note: NACADA does NOT generally use streaming-video in our Webinars, because a high percentage of our viewers do not have sufficient bandwidth to receive it.  Visual materials consist of "still shots" only unless indicated otherwise in event publicity materials.)
2007 Webinar Presenter Blane Harding (Colorado State University

The advisors at Tulane are really getting a lot out of these Webinars! They are a great resource! -- Patrick D. Godbey, Academic Advisor, Tulane University

Thank you all for putting this series together; it has really rejuvenated my campus and been a great kick-off to improvement initiatives we are implementing. -- DaNay Phelps, University Academic Advising, Academic Affairs Office of the Provost, Texas Tech University

We have found the Webinar format ideal for our staff!  We are a small college professional advising staff with a limited budget and feel we have gotten so much from the webinars with all of us sitting in my office. We have wholeheartedly embraced the “Advising as Teaching” concept and found this to be an excellent way to gain information so that we have been able to more quickly incorporate it into our office philosophy and now take the next step with our faculty advisors. -- Beth Miller, Director of Academic Advisement, Saint Joseph College

Our college has had a positive experience with the NACADA Webinars, and our team has brought back ideas after each session. The advising Webinars have been a convenient way for both faculty and staff to participate in professional development, and have helped reduce expenses typically associated with travel. We plan on using webinars in the future as part of our ongoing professional development efforts. -- Cory M. Stine, Coordinator of Admissions and Enrollment Services, Terra Community College

As a result of our participation in these webinars, the Advising Center has developed an Academic Advising Syllabus, which we will be piloting with some of our incoming first-year students this fall. -- Philip J. Gorman, LSA Advising Center, University of Michigan

My institution signed up and hosted the Webinar for a variety of campus stake holders and we were thoroughly impressed with the content and delivery. This a great option for those of us that may not have the financial resources to send a number of people to National or Regional conferences. - Natasha Buis, Lethbridge Community College
