The great thing about them is the size of the group. There are always 2-3 moderators and around 12 people attending a session so you really get hands on attention. Most webinars have 100 + people attending but there is not interaction or individual attention. = = = =<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">This is a list of the final webinars for this school year.
