Webinars (interactive online
tutorials)

ActEd Webinars for the April
2012 Exams
We will not be releasing dates
of webinars for the April 2012 exams until January
or February but we are planning on running webinars
in March/April for Subjects CT4 and CA1 as well
as an Exam Skills Webinar. We may also run Webinars
in Subjects CT5, CT6 and CT8.
If you would like to express
an interest in attending webinars in a specific
subject then please email
us.
The Exam Skills Webinar will
be aimed at students sitting CA1 or an ST Subject
for the first time, and will be designed to
help you maximise your chance of passing first
time.
We
continue to get excellent feedback from students
attending our webinars:
- Good, simple explanation
of concepts making the topic more user friendly!
- The presenter was excellent
and seemed very adept with the technology
which made everything go smoothly.
- I think the coverage of
subjects is about right. It covers the harder
topics. Tutorials sometimes spend too long
on easier topics or just not the ones you
personally struggle with so being able to
pick and choose is great.
Hear a short recording
of a Subject ST5
Webinar.
Note that the sample recording
is compressed to make it faster to download,
but the sound quality is reduced as a result.
In a live webinar, the audio is significantly
better.
The recording will play
on Windows Media Player. If you do not have
this, you can download it from
Microsoft's website.
These online tutorials are
particularly suitable if you have not attended
face to face tutorials but can also be used
to refresh the knowledge gained on face to face
tutorials either in a previous exam sitting
or the current one.
The software used enables
you to see and hear the tutor, and uses a "virtual
flipchart" and slides, resulting in a personal
feel to the Webinar. The tutorials are interactive
and include questions and short exercises. You
can ask and respond to questions via a written
chat facility.
In order to participate
all you need is a PC with speakers or headphones,
a broadband internet connection and an internet
browser.
More about the types of
Webinar
The Webinars will comprise
a mixture of:
- teaching from the tutor via pre-prepared
presentations and a virtual whiteboard
- question practice with feedback from students
using interactive polls and a written chat
facility.
Computer compatibility
We will email you before the
Webinar with details of how to test your computer
for compatibility, log in to the session and
give you any material that it is necessary for
you to print off beforehand.
