Description

From Learning Hub (https://learn.g2.com/what-is-a-webinar):

​

“A webinar (a combination of the words “web” and “seminar”) is a video workshop, lecture, or presentation hosted online using webinar software. Often business-related, these sessions can be used to share knowledge, ideas, and updates with people around the world. Webinars can also be leveraged to build and nurture relationships, build authority around a brand, or demonstrate a product.”

​

Using the two course texts (Kendi and Martis) students, in groups of approximately 5, will be required to create webinars of 30 minutes discussing and highlighting each book’s content (summary, key themes and arguments, personal reflection, and key takeaways).

Additionally each group member will be responsible for submitting a one-page peer review of another group's webinar. See Group Webinar: Peer Review for more information.

​

• Video Submission Due: November 13, 2020 (20% of final grade)

• Peer Review Due: November 20, 2020 (10% of final grade)

Instructions

Webinar:

​

In groups created in LEARN, students will be required to:

• Read the two texts in full (available in e-format online).

• Create an outline of what will be said and by whom.

• Ensure that each student speaks for an equal amount of time (i.e. groups of five, each student will have to speak for 6 minutes).

  • Pro-tip #1: one person does the summary, followed by another that does key themes, etc.

  • Pro-tip #2: each person can have a role (i.e. one is the host, one is the moderator, and the three others are panelists)

  • Pro-tip #3: you may use visuals (i.e. PowerPoint slides, but it is not a requirement)

• Record the webinar and submit on LEARN.

  • Pro-tip #4: use the record feature on WebEx or Teams for your webinars
