Information for Presenters

What is a WEBINAR?

A webinar is a virtual lecture or training session presented live on the Internet. WEBINARS@AmHighEd® allows the presenter to use a PowerPoint presentation for the visual part and a land-line telephone to provide a high quality audio portion. Presenters should prepare for approximately 35-45 minutes of presentation and 15-25 minutes for question and answer segments and poll questions. Your presentation may be recorded for archival purposes and for future use.

What are the presenter’s responsibilities?

• Complete the attached “Webinar Proposal” form and submit it along with your most recent resume.
•  Provide a PowerPoint presentation to be used for the visual part of the webinar. This must generally be submitted four (4) weeks in advance of the program. Acceptance of a proposal is based on the content and the presenters named at the time of submission. Any changes to content or speakers must be conveyed to WEBINARS@AmHighEd® Team in advance. The team reserves the right to reassess suitability.
• Locate a quiet room, a computer with Internet capabilities and a landline phone connection to present the webinar. A toll-free number is used for the phone connection with no charges to the presenter.
• Participate in at least one training session for the webinar. The presenter’s PowerPoint presentation will be used during the training to familiarize the presenter with the webinar presentation logistics.
•  Identify a back-up presenter should an act of God or emergency occur on the presenter’s scheduled webinar date and time.
  

What does AmHighEd provide?

AmHighEd provides technical services, production, and promotion of the webinar. Attendance at events varies not just with the topic, but with the speaker's perceived expertise and drawing power. AmHighEd will provide information about speakers, and potential attendants will be able to search through a gallery of experts to find biographies, testimonials, optional audio or video greetings, links to articles or blogs, and even links to Amazon to buy books written by the speakers.

An AmHighEd staff member will be available to help the presenter in the planning and presentation of the webinar. AmHighEd’s webinar provider will handle all technical aspects of the webinar including training the presenter and monitoring/assisting with the entire live webinar presentation. An AmHighEd staff person will be involved during the training and entire live presentation to assure the highest quality webinar.

Will the presenter be compensated?

The amount of monetary compensation will be based on the topic and the number of participants in the webinar. Once your proposal is approved, AmHighEd will provide more details and you sign a contract indicating the amount of compensation in the form of an honorarium.

Presenters are strictly prohibited from “selling on the platform.” The distribution and sale of promotional materials and touting of commercial ventures which may personally or financially benefit the speaker is not permitted within the context of the presentation.
