2. The term "seminar" can be applied to a
variety of sessions. On the whole it is used to
describe an activity involving a smaller number
of students than one might find in a lecture,
during which the students are more actively
involved. It may be structured as a task which
has been set in advance, and agreed between
students and lecturers, it may involve a
student or students taking a pro-active lead in
the session, or it may be a "hands on"
workshop or case study activity.

19. Sometimes seminars do not achieve as much as
one hope. The difficulties are most likely to be with
discussion sessions rather than workshops which
ask the students to undertake much defined tasks.
Students do not speak out in a seminar, so the
session is dominated by the lecturer
Only one or two students speak and dominate
the session
The discussion drifts a long way "off the point"
and the major topic is not covered adequately
Students have been involved in the session, but
leave with a rather hazy view of the outcomes

20. Students in different seminar groups (in the same
module) complain of different learning
experiences
A group of staff providing the same seminars,
within a module, on the same topic can deliver a
very different experience if the purposes,
outcomes and approaches are not clear
Students who prepare work to be marked by
their seminar teacher collude with another
student in a different group and assume this
"cheating" will not be spotted 
Students arrive at the seminar unprepared for
the discussion

21. Conducting a seminar is a great way
to communicate your ideas or
introduce new technologies. It is
useful to know some guidelines when
you have to conduct a seminar. I
understood the importance of this
both as an attendee and a presenter
myself.

23. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
1. Choose your topic. If you're a
consultant or speaker, it's likely that
you've been asked to speak to a group
about a certain topic. If you're a business
owner organizing a seminar to promote
your business, you should select a topic
that will appeal to your target customer.
For example, an attorney might organize
a free seminar for the public on estate
planning.

24. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
2. Select your venue. Try to estimate the
number of participants you'll have and choose a
venue that will have ample space for everyone
to sit comfortably. You'll also have to take price
into consideration when selecting a venue.
Some venues can have room rental fees of
several hundred or even thousands while
others are much more reasonable. Hotels often
have banquet rooms where businesses
frequently hold conventions, so that may be a
good place to start in your search for a
location.

25. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
3. Create an invitations. Depending on the size
and formality of your event, your invitations can
range from a simple document created in
Microsoft Word to a fancy design created by a
professional designer. Distribute your
invitations several weeks in advance to allow
participants time to plan to attend. Don't
distribute the invitations so far in advance that
they may forget before the actual seminar date
arrives, however. You can also email your
invitations, but keep in mind that they may end
up in several recipients' spam folders.

26. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
4. Decide whether you'll offer lunch or light
refreshments. If your seminar runs for several
hours, it's a nice touch to have light
refreshments available. If your seminar starts
early in the morning or runs over the lunch
hour, providing lunch is recommended. Some
venues have a requirement that you utilize the
services of their in-house caterer when holding
an event at the facility. Be sure you know the
rules of your contract before you order
refreshments.

27. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
5. Create your presentation materials. Make
copies of handouts, or have them printed at a
professional printer. You'll probably want to
create a PowerPoint presentation so you have a
visual reference when you or your speaker are
presenting material. You can easily create a
handout for your participants by selecting
"handouts" under print options. Make sure you
select three per page, and your participants will
be able to take notes directly on their
handouts.

28. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
6. A few days before the event, finalize your
number of attendees based on your RSVPs. If
you choose, you can call other people that
you've invited to remind them of your event
and give them one last chance to register. Leave
a message for anyone you don't reach, if
possible, and instruct them to call you as soon
as possible if they plan to attend.

29. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
7. Create a sign-in sheet and nametags. It's nice for
seminar participants to be able to meet other people and
immediately see their name and where they are from. It
eliminates some of the uncomfortable feelings people
have when introducing themselves to new people. A
sign-in sheet will prove useful if you plan to offer any
type of continuing education credits to your participants,
or if you simply wish to keep in contact with your
participants after the seminar. You can ask for their
names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.
It's wise to offer a box they can check if they don't wish
to receive further communication from you.

30. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
8. Create packets for each table setting. You
may want to include brochures and other
promotional material about your business.
You'll also want to provide something for your
participants to write on and a pen for them to
write with. If you don't have these items with
your business logo on, the venue where you're
holding your event may have pens and pads that
they'd be happy to provide.

31. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
9. Confirm details with your contact person at
your venue a few days prior to your event. You
should also confirm a final head count with your
caterer if you're having food catered. Be sure to
let your caterer know if you'll need them to
supply paper products, such as plates, napkins
or cups. Make any payment arrangements
necessary. Some venues and caterers require
upfront payment, while others are happy to
collect money the day of your event.

32. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
10.Set up your venue the day before or
morning of your event. You'll want to be sure
that your venue staff have the room set up the
way you asked. You'll also want to place your
packets and other materials at each place
setting before your guests arrive. Walk around
the room and make sure everyone will have a
clear view of you or your speaker at the front
of the room.

33. GUIDELINESGUIDELINES
11. Plan for yourself or a representative from
your company to be present when the first
guests will begin arriving the day of your event.
You'll want to greet people and direct them to
the sign-in sheet, the location of restrooms and
the refreshments.
After the event: compile the evaluation
results and plan a follow-up. Discuss the
evaluation outcome with the trainers and
within the institute.

34. Preparing the presentation
Include a presentation. Presentations help the
audience to understand the underlying points that
the speaker has to say especially if the subject is
rather vague.
The presentation should have an Introduction and a
conclusion. The introduction can include a
summary of the topic and a brief overview of what
the speaker will be saying for the rest of the
duration of the seminar.
