WEBINAR LESSONS TAUGHT ON DSG WEBINARS (2014-2016)
INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES FOR LIFELONG LEARNING
1. LANDING PAGE FOR WEBINAR REGISTRATION
Wordpress.org content management system • Domain name + hosting + User-friendly Webinar Ignition plugin (webinar management system) • Create pages for registration, confirmation, webinar,
2. MANAGEMENT OF LIST OF REGISTRANTS • Uses the autoresponder called “Emelmatik” (Link: www.emelmatik.com) • The purpose of an autoresponder is two-folds: 1. Issuance of automatic email right after the registrant clicks on the ‘Submit’ button 2. Listing of the email in the database of registrants to facilitate reminder emails regarding the webinars
• The system allows for management of large list of registrants + keeping in contact with them regarding the webinars
EXAMPLE EMAILS SENT USING THE EMELMATIK AUTORESPONDER
3. LIVE STREAMING OF THE WEBINAR
1. Reminder email was sent to the registrants • Using the Emelmatik autoresponder
2. A session on Google Hangout on Air was started (now it is rebranded as YouTube Live) • Sharing of computer screen + webcam • Recording is automatic and added as YouTube event 3. The streaming embed code was copied to the webinar page 4. Registrants then participated in the webinar LIVE • Using their laptop, desktop, smartphone, iPad, tabs, other devices with Internet connection
4. DISCUSSION AND Q&A
• Option 1: To ask questions on the webinar page
• Option 2: To ask questions on the Facebook event page in DSG
5. WEBINAR REPLAY @ RESOURCE PAGE
www.dsgportal.org/site/webinar Uses the Wordpress management system + embed code from YouTube channel
CONCLUSION
DSG Webinars is fairly new (3yo)
Great add-on to the learning methods for postgraduate students
This paper shares the different technologies for carrying out DSG Webinars
Could become a tool for lifelong learning
Reference for similar initiatives + future research on the area of lifelong learning
