What is a webinar?
A webinar is an online seminar that turns a presentation into a real-time conversation from anywhere in the
world. Webinars allow large groups of participants to engage in online discussions or training events and share
audio, documents or slides – even when they’re not in the same place as the meeting host or in the same
room where the event or presentation is taking place.
NI WEBINARS AND ROLES
The NI use a software called ‘gotowebinar’ to host its seminars. Below is guidance on what to expect and the
roles of each participant.
ORGANISER: STARTING AND ENDING WEBINAR
A representative from the NI – usually the Marketing and Communications Officer – will ‘host’ the session
starting the meeting allowing you, the presenter, to talk and take control. They can give and take away access
and control to the presenter and any other panellist.
PANELLIST: GUEST SPEAKER/PRESENTER*
The ‘Panellist’ is the guest speaker of the session. As the panellist you are supported by ‘Organiser’, in your
session. With you are presenting from your work place please make sure you have checked with your HR/IT
teams to make sure you are able to do so.
Please also make sure that there are no background noises or distractions that might interfere with the
presentation.
ATTENDEE- AUDIENCE*
Attendees can see the screen of the speaker/presenter (if provided). They are able to use a chat option to ask
questions and can be unmuted to ask questions.
Ideally you will provide your presentation to the Marketing and Communications Officer prior to the webinar
so that it can be uploaded to the GoToWebinar software and be easily shared in full screen view with the
audience.
