What is a ‘webinar’?
A webinar is an online seminar. All CCH Learning webinars are presented via GoToWebinar and are a combination of audio and PowerPoint presentation. Each webinar is 60-90 minutes long and includes a 15-minute Question and Answer session where attendees may submit questions for the presenter to address.
You can view the webinar on your computer or use the GoToWebinar app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device.
How does the sound work?
GoToWebinar teleconferencing means that you can join in with your computer’s speakers or make a conventional phone call. We recommend using your computer’s built in speakers or a USB headset for the best experience. Please note that all attendee microphones are muted by default
When you log into the webinar there will be an audio panel where you can select your preference and see the phone number to call if you have selected to dial in.
What do I need?
You will need a computer with a good internet connection and speakers, or a functioning phone or speaker phone. If you are attending webinars frequently, you may wish to invest in a good set of external speakers or headset. Alternatively, you can download the GoToWebinar app to your smart device and use built-in sound or headphones.
How many can attend?
CCH Learning webinars operate on a ‘one-connection-one fee’ basis which means you can have the whole team participate from the same location for the one cost-effective price. For example, you could have three team members around a monitor or 15 team members in a boardroom viewing on a big screen.
If you have people viewing from multiple sites or from separate computers, you will need to book multiple connections.
Are Webinars CPD verifiable?
Yes, all CCH Learning webinars are CPD verifiable. A blank CPD certificate will be sent to the registered attendee of the webinar. After attending the webinar, they should print out the certificate, enter their details and have a peer or manager sign it as verification of their attendance.
For group attendance, print off a CPD certificate for each of those attending, these can be completed after the webinar and signed by a peer or manager as verification of their attendance. Group attendee names can also be entered into the survey at the end of the webinar for CPD audit purposes. CCH Learning are unable to sign CPD certificates due to the virtual nature of webinars.
What can I do ahead of time?
There are a few things you can do the day before which will make the connection process stress-free:
What do I do on the day?
Webinars start promptly, we recommend you follow the timeline as suggested below:
What’s the difference between using the phone or using the computer audio?
When connecting to the webinar via your computer or the GoToWebinar app, you are only using your existing internet or data connection.
If you dial into the webinar using your phone, it is simply the cost of calling a national number. When you log into GoToWebinar, you will see the Audio Options on the right-hand side – you can click the button for Use Mic & Speakers, or if you click Use Telephone it will bring up the number to call and give you a unique access code and PIN for the meeting.
What are the controls?
There are two controls you may use in the webinar: Full screen Mode and Questions.
Depending on level of interaction, you may also be asked to join in a poll. You do have a mute button but please note all attendees are automatically muted by default when joining. Only the presenters have the ability to speak.
Can I ask questions?
Of course. You can type in questions which the moderator will ask the presenter. We will show you how to do this at the start of the webinar. All questions should be kept within the topic of the webinar and not ask for client specific advice.
Usually, the presenter and moderator will do a full Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
