A webinar or web-seminar is a presentation, seminar, lecture, or workshop transmitted over the internet. This emerging technology is becoming increasingly popular due to its convenience and affordability. However, little research has been conducted on best practices for an interactive webinar that engages learners in a professional development or scholarly setting. Practices that best create interactive webinars were identified through an extensive literature review and interviews with webinar professionals. Best practices pertain to before, during, and after the webinar such that participants are enticed to learn, remain engaged, and benefit intellectually from this pedagogical innovation.
