Even if the contents could theoretically be the same, online seminars differ from conventional face-to-face seminars. let us see some Advantages and Disadvantages of webinars.
They offer some advantages compared to classical lectures, but they also come with some disadvantages: the webinar format scores particularly well when it comes to not being dependent on a certain location.
This saves time and money for both the speaker and the participants, since they don’t need to travel to the seminar location.
