1. Chart Your Course: Define Your Goals and Audience

In the realm of webinars, clarity is key. You need to define your goals, objectives, and audience for your webinars and align them with your course curriculum and learning outcomes. This in turn will guide your content and engage your audience effectively.

 2. Prepare Your Webinars

The next step to hosting successful webinars is thorough preparation. This involves creating and organizing content, designing engaging slides and materials, testing your technical setup, and promoting your webinars to attract and register students.

Some of the tasks you need to do when preparing your webinars are:

• Create and organize your content using the course builder and the lesson editor in Tutor LMS
