I know this one is a little late as I thought I had made a post but clearly included to forget it last time. But anyways I 'attended' a webinar on Professional Communication and Net Etiquette a little over a week ago. In an age where the using the internet for communication and meetings in the workplace is almost readily taking out face to face communication understanding how to communicate effectively and properly online is extremely important.
I learned a lot of the basics that are taught in other reading classes like the proper way to format online messages and also how to greet others. One of the biggest things I learned is how to present yourself through meetings online, whether there is a webcam or not, because tone of voice and other factors dictate more how you sound over the web or microphone than in person. It is nice to learn some new tips and refresh known ones about communication with the web since our lives are becoming increasingly more dependent on it.
Sounds like an interesting and relevant webinar. It something I had not considered receiving training in, but you have made me very curious.
