Another not new but useful "discovery" I would like to shortly write about: the Webinar. An important tool for education, trainings, sharing information and ideas.
I will not enter too much in the technical idea behind this system, as long as it is very easy to already find the appropriate references on the Internet. I would rather like to focus a bit more about the so to say, "philosophical" implications of this system.
What a Webinar is offering, at a very general level: the possibility to have live meetings, independently of the geographical localisation of the participants. All you need is a computer connected to Internet. In some cases, you need a camera as well and a microphone. The program for watching the webinar is easyly downloadable. The direct access is possible after log in, according to coordinated sent via e-mail.
In the front of your computer you might follow business presentations or trainings on various topics. The information could be presented in the Power Point format or as a live presentation. The participants - in unlimited number - are able to address questions - in writing - at the end of the discussion. After, you have to follow the usual rules in terms of feedback - sending the presentation to the participants, managing a couple of questions and observations. If it is about the presentation of a company, you have to see how many of your attendance is interested to continue the communication, would like to take part to other kind of presentations - eventually, paid - or to classes in an extended format.
Minimum costs, lots of advantages. One of the most important is related to the learning process, but the business potential cannot be neglected as well. If you have something to say, just with a bit of technical skills and another proportional bit of smart PR, you are very close to find the right audience to share your toughts.
