Questions• What do you see as the value of having video as part of a webinar or online meeting? Is it

worth the trouble? • Which is best:  Using a telephone for audio or using a microphone hooked up to a

computer?• What are the three things most likely to "go wrong" during a webinar or online meeting?  

How can we avoid these problems? What do you do if they occur during a live session? • What's the best way to let people know about a webinar or online meeting? How often

should they be "reminded"?• What kind of deadlines should be set for the speakers/presenters?• How long before the beginning of the webinar or online meeting do you think the

moderators and speaker should "arrive"?• What is the value of "poll questions" during a webinar? How many are optimal for a one

hour session?• What's the best way to get handouts or other meeting materials to participants? Should

they be mailed out ahead of time or distributed during the meeting/webinar itself?• Have you ever had to deal with an audience member who became "aggressive" or

"inappropriate"?  What did/should you do about that kind of situation?• What's the best way to decide which submitted questions should be presented to the

speaker?• What do you do if nobody in the audience has any questions?
