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.

Webinar prices

Webinars are subject to UK VAT (Value Added Tax), which will be added to your bill.

There is a 10% discount if you order 5 or more Webinars in one go.

Cancellation and refund policy

Once you have applied for a Webinar, you may cancel without charge, so long as we are notified in writing (email or fax) 7 days before the Webinar is due to take place. If you cancel your place after this date you will be invoiced for a fee of 100% of the Webinar fee. If we cancel a Webinar through lack of demand, you will receive a full refund.

Refunds cannot be given in the event of malfunction or incompatibility of your software or hardware, which is outside of ActEd's control.
