Webinars

All webinars will be 60 minutes unless otherwise specified. This generally consists of 45 minutes of presentation, followed by 15 min of Q&A.

All handouts and slides are sent to participants via email the business day prior to the broadcast.

We use the Zoom Webinar Platform for all our webinars.

Yes! We encourage you to watch webinars with your colleagues. But you cannot share your login. Be sure to reserve a room on your campus to gather your colleagues to watch the webinar or recording and then discuss it afterward. Make it an event!

Don't forget to think through the various aspects of set-up and facilitation well in advance of the event including if you'll need campus resource personnel to assist with facilitation or follow-up.

• Complete the online registration (or purchase a recording).
• Reserve a room on campus appropriate for the technology and the audience. You may want to allow 30-60 minutes before the broadcast for system checks and up to 2 hoafterwardards for discussion.
• Test your system well in advance. 
• Determine who will facthe ilitate discussion before and/or after the broadcast. You may wish to identify and invite a topic expert on campus if the topic is outside your expertise. Work with the facilitator after any event materials have been distributed to plan the discussion protocol.
• Send invitations to everyone who might benefit from the event. Be sure to include a FULL DESCRIPTION of the event’s content (OVERVIEW found on the event webpage), not just the title, in your invitation to ensure that everyone you invite has appropriate content expectations. Invite professional, faculty, and peer advisers; front-line advising center staff; graduate students in advising programs; student affairs staff; advising/undergraduate education administrators; career counselors; admissions and registration counselors; anyone and everyone you can think of who might be interested.
• Send a reminder to those invited one week before the webinar.
• Send any webinar materials or handouts to invited participants 1-3 days before the event.
• Re-check you24 hours within 24-hours of the broadcast.
• Purchase refreshments (popcorn, Twizzlers, water, soda, etc.) before the event if budget and facilities allow (or recruit someone to do this for you).
• Arrive at the room before the webinar to allow for tweaking of the technology and greeting of participants.
• Follow up with participants to thank them for attending and gather feedback for future webinars.
• Send feedback/evaluation to NACADA Executive Office.

Absolutely! We try to make time during each webinar for questions. But if there's not enough time to get to your individual question, the panelists always are happy to respond to your questions through email (emails for each panelist found in the handouts).
