23. The proceeding nine seminars during that semester were "inperson" seminars with the speaker addressing the students in the lecture hall. The webinar format we describe here explicitly means the Power- Point slide, speaker and audience images, and two-way audio communication. Further, we have subsequently facilitated a seminar in webinar format in a more technical content area. For this seminar, students were again engaged as evidenced by post-seminar questions and student blog posts (http://www. bestearly.com/chemsemblog/spring-2011/week-5), vide infra.
