A '''Webinar''' is a [[seminar]] which is conducted over the [[World Wide Web]]. It is a type of [[web conferencing]]. In contrast to a [[Webcast]], which is transmission of information in one direction only, a webinar is designed to be interactive between the presenter and audience. A webinar is 'live' in the sense that information is conveyed according to an agenda, with a starting and ending time. In most cases, the presenter may speak over a standard telephone line, pointing out information being presented on screen, and the audience can respond over their own telephones, preferably a [[speakerphone]].
