Webcast AleProfessionalDevelopment and AleTechnology

Allows many people in dozens of different locations to see, hear and participate in a meeting or event as it is happening. Presentations can include panel discussions, recorded video, computer graphics and interactive audience discussion. While the originating site must have meeting room, video production and ultra-high-speed Internet facilities, receiving sites need only the ultra-high-speed Internet connection, a computer or laptop, and a projector. Large screen viewing capability is preferable and in some instances a second computer is needed to participate in the meeting using online 'chat.' You can also allow distant sites to submit questions via email or fax. The proceedings can be recorded and can later be 'streamed' (see Streaming) over the Internet. A webcast should be used when there will be more than eight receiving sites and when there will be a large audience.
