Format
We can accommodate a variety of formats including panel discussions, interactive discussions, individual presentations, and live question and answer sessions with the audience.
- Length: 60 minutes
- Presenters can decide how to use this time. Most webinars involve 30-45 minutes of presenting and 15-30 minutes of Q&A or other audience participation.
- Hosting: NWeLearn
- NWeLearn will be hosting the webinars. Presenters do not need to have a Zoom account or license.
- Platform: Zoom
- On the submission form, presenters can indicate preference for Zoom’s “Webinar” or “Meeting” format. Generally, if your presentation has substantive audience participation, you should choose the “Meeting” option. See Zoom’s meeting and webinar comparison for full details on the differences.
- Viewing: Live and recorded
- Webinars are streamed live and the recordings are uploaded to our YouTube channel for future viewing. Presenters are encouraged to upload their presentation materials to our Google Drive so we can make them available to attendees.

Once submitted, your webinar proposal will be reviewed by the NWeLearn board. Submissions will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Relevance to online learning and teaching
- Timeliness of topic
- Originality
- Completeness of proposal
Speakers will be notified of our decision regarding proposals within two weeks of the submission deadline.
