Excitech Web Seminars
Excitech
web seminars, or webinars,
a new way for you
get the latest information on technology for design
- in a more convenient way.
|
| Excitech now offer web based seminars and demonstrations
as a more convenient way for you to see the latest
software applications, new technologies and processes.
While not replacing
our normal seminars, demonstrations or indeed training
courses they do offer a very convenient way to learn
more or determine whether a further investment in time – and
maybe travel is justified.

A web seminar or demonstration
means you can sit at a PC in your office or even
home to participate. You may be shown a presentation
(from, for example, PowerPoint) or video, or a live
demonstration of a software application. You will
hear the commentary from the presenter either through
your PC’s sound system or over the telephone
and you can interact by typing questions, participating
in polls and in some cases speaking to the presenter.
Afterwards,
depending on the event, you may be able to play back
the presentation to review or share with colleagues.
