Webinars
Chapter Leaders: Did you know that pre-recorded webinars can be used by chapters for CPE credit?
How?
- First select a webinar from the library.
- Identify a facilitator for the program.
- In a live session, the facilitator introduces the topic, coordinates the discussion after the webinar’s conclusion, and facilitates any polling questions or other form of audience participation throughout the webinar.
- In a virtual session, the facilitator interrupts the webinar 3 times to obtain input from attendees to ensure they are still engaged. Input can be in the form of polling questions or entering a response in the chat feature. For instance, at the onset, participants can be given 3 words, then throughout the session, asked to enter the 1st, 2nd, then 3rd key word into the chat feature.
- Verify that all attendees participated in all polls or chat entries and attended for the full webinar time (ex. 50 minutes minimum for a 1 CPE credit webinar.
- Adhere to all other CPE request requirements included in the checklist.
