Running a live webinar means you have shared your computer screen and at the same time holding a conference call of some sorts to anyone with access to that particular webinar. As such webinars can be used for teaching and demonstrating any skill you desire. However, the limited time that you spend presenting a webinar doesn't allow you to teach a lot. You have to setup multiple webinar courses which translate to a webinar class.
To determine how to setup your webinar class, you have to know for how long your classes will last whether in days or weeks or even months, what content to pass on and when, and the specific format for the course. Some people may disagree but it is always important to know the end date of your course.
A school is a perfect example whereby classes last for three months or a semester. Seminars and boot camps are other examples which last for three to five days. Setting an end date for your classes is important as it gives your students a clear picture of the duration they have to learn.
It is recommended that your classes last for one or two months. First, try coming up with an outline for two months, by having eight lessons - one for each week. Arrange the course such that the easy bits are learnt first with the more difficult bits coming last. Also schedule some sort of assessment test at the end to help you assess whether the students understand your course content. If you are unable to gather enough content for the two months then cut it down to one month.
Always set a clear objective for each lesson. For example if you are teaching writers marketing classes the first weeks course could be called "Ideas for writing"; then week two could be called "Writing the articles"; Week three-" How to edit the articles"; and finally Week four-"Article submission."
This kind of schedule is clear to every student that by the end of the one month course you are expected to have a live publication of your article on the web.
After deciding the period that your webinar will run and also developed the necessary content to be covered in that period, the next factor to decide on is the format to deliver your content in. Will it be a live session or just a recorded session? A live presentation allows you to interact with your students and give them a chance to put forward their questions. Also, you may choose to speak throughout or may use PowerPoint slides to further illustrate your points.
Now that you have decided on all these factors-whether it will be one or two months classes, the subjects on offer, and the delivery format-go ahead and setup your webinar classes and start searching for students to attend your classes.
