HI

I was bumped off todays event by my own mistake and did not get to hear the answers to my questions. If someone can answer them here, it would be great!

The speaker advised to use Q&A vs chat if you have a large audience. Please define in numbers a large audience. My webinars for elearning will be a host and an instructor. I am new to webinars.

The speaker talked about resolution of the screen of the person sharing the screen. He also talked about teh resolution of the graphics inside your PPT. Please help me with guidelines on these 2 issues.

Thanks!

Susan

I would use the Q&A pod any time you are dealing with a group that is larger than what you can handle dealing with real time questions in the chat pod. For some this may be 3, others may be 20, but there is no defined number where you should use one vs. the other. Just identify which is better for you in a given situation and use that. For smaller interactive sessions, I use the Chat pod. For sessions where I am going to lecture and then deal with questions, I use the Q&A pod. It isn't necessarily about number of attendees for me.

As to the graphics size in your PPT deck. Just use graphics that fit on the slide. Inserting an image that is 2-4 times the size of you slide and then scaling it down doesn't change the file size of the image, so you are left with a huge addition to your slide deck, all for a small image. So you can use the image optimization function in PPT (I don't recall what it is called), or use another photo editing tool to resize your images prior to inserting in PPT.
