Webinar set to discuss benefits of online education

As the interest in online education keeps growing among Americans, an upcoming web seminar will address some of the key benefits and challenges of this innovative option.

Sponsored by Stream57, a webcast and rich media software suite, the panel discussion webcast will feature professionals from the corporate training and e-learning fields who will share lessons learned on emerging technologies and successful methods of engaging and interacting with online students.

The one-hour event will be webcast live from Times Square in New York on November 9th at 2p.m. ET, and will allow its online participants to interact with the panel and ask questions.

"We have found ourselves in trying times that have forced sales training departments, universities and every other kind of educational institution to seek new solutions for effectively teaching and training their students," says Stream57 president Ben Chodor.

"Embracing online options has opened new doors for both teachers and students, and this panel has both the experience and the know-how for showing us how to succeed with e-learning and online training," he adds.

A growing number of institutions offer online courses or degrees, which may be of particular interest to busy adults who would like to study on their own schedule.
