7 Research of webinar and micro-learning framework

7.1 Framework webinar

A webinar is short for web-based seminar. A webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop, or
seminar that is transmitted over the web, instead of in person. As a result, each member of the
webinar, from the presenter to the attendees, can be at a different location providing they have
an internet connection.

One of the advantages of webinars is that they can take place at any time and any place, and
this way can make learning more accessible. Webinars also enable for practical solutions that
are less available in physical meetings, such as swift partitioning into collaboration groups, file
sharing and integration of external digital tools.

There are six elements that are essential in the design of educational webinars (figure 33): (i)
pedagogical and instructional strategies; (ii) lecture content; (iii) presentation style; (iv) choice
of platform; (v) netiquette; and (vi) evaluation (Figure 1). The selection of these elements is
aligned with best practices in blended and online learning environments. Taking these elements
into consideration could potentially improve the student learning experience [5].
