Teleseminars - How Improvements in Technology Can Overcome Physical Limitations

If you've been following me for long or visited my website at all, then you probably know that I'm disabled. Yes, I have problems putting two words together. No, no... I really do have a mobility limitation. As does my business partner. Which makes life as a course facilitator somewhat difficult.

In fact that's why we got into the internet based training business. Rather than fight the trend we realized that embracing technology would help us to continue to do what we both love doing - helping people succeed.

There can be no doubt that improvements in technology can overcome physical limitations not only for people with my problem (or similar) but for everyone. In fact when I was preparing for this article I realized that ideas for overcoming physical limitations which weren't disability based were coming every bit as fast as the ones for people with limitations. Faster if you add in how technology was improving teleseminar limitations.

Teleseminars - How Improvements in Technology Can Overcome Physical Limitations

Here are four examples of how improvements in technology can overcome physical limitations.

1. I am now able to teach without spending hours standing up. The biggest issue which my business partner and I both faced was that doing a live seminar meant spending two to four hours at a stretch without sitting. Teleseminars allow me to present a seminar while sitting, standing or doing a mix of both. You can't see me so I have a much greater freedom than I do in a live environment.

2. I am able to reach people around the world without having to travel. Now don't get me wrong. I love travelling. I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. But travelling for business - especially the training business - gets old quick. And the enhanced security in the last ten years has made travel for business even more of a hassle.

3. I am now able to teach at any time of the day or night. When I was teaching for live audiences I would have to eat or sleep or just relax. And when I was doing that I couldn't teach. And even if I was available I could only teach for a limited amount of time. Teleseminars can be recorded and played back at any time. In fact, many courses run twenty four hours per day, seven days per week without ever stopping!

4. The sound quality of teleseminars has increased dramatically. So far I've given examples of how teleseminars have overcome physical limits for the disabled, for travel and for time shifting. But technology has helped teleseminars overcome their own limitations as well. At one time a teleseminar had to be done via a phone line using a telephone headset. Quality was frequently questionable. Now even an inexpensive headset can produce music quality using digitally perfect recording tools. And editing has become something even an amateur can do.

How Technology Improvements in Technology Can Improve Your Teleseminars

Teleseminar or teleconference calls are often a mixed bag of misadventures. Teleseminar service technology in most cases doesn't solve many of these situations and that can ruin the quality of the teleseminar and the host's ability to create a quality digital product from it. However, new technology is coming out that provides a workaround for many of the issues that frequently plague these calls. Read on for some of the ways in which you can use new technologies to create a flawless teleseminar.

1. A simple and easy way to interact with guests

There should be a way to interact with guest that is very easy and simple. The technology should let the teleseminar moderator individually control which participant can talk when they have a question or comment. This means allowing those listeners who want to ask questions to be unmuted on a per listener basis. The kind of technology that would have this functionality would be a "raised hand" feature where the moderator would know those participants that want to ask a question to signal the host. This way, the moderator would know which specific caller to unmute so the caller can ask their question, and keep all the other callers on mute to avoid unwanted noise from the other callers.

2. Ability to adjust individual microphone volume

Have you ever been on a call where one presenter has a low volume that you can just barely hear, while another presenter has a very high volume? It is very distracting for the participants on the call because they are constantly getting switched from hard-to-hear to way-too-loud. A great feature that would eliminate this problem, and allow for a smooth call, would be for the moderator to be able to control the individual volumes of the presenters and guests. Technology has come far enough to where the moderator can actually adjust the output volume of individual members on the call.

3. Ability to call hosts missing from the teleconference

If there are multiple hosts or presenters participating in the teleconference call, the probability that one of the hosts or presenters missing in action increases dramatically. The current technology forces the moderator to use a second line to track down the missing presenter. If the moderator has no other line to use, they have to hang up to track down the missing presenter, and then hope they can call back in again if the teleclass is full. If they are using a service that disconnects all of the guests if the moderator hangs up, then the moderator has to wait and hope the missing presenter remembers to call in, or send them a flurry of frantic emails.

A solution to this problem would be to have a "dial-out" feature with your teleconferencing service. This would allow the moderator to directly call the missing presenter directly from the teleseminar hosting service and that way they don't ever have to leave the teleconference call.

The quality of your teleconference depends greatly on the teleseminar service you use. Until recently, the technology wasn't able to overcome many of the common problems that frequently crop up during the teleseminar. The most helpful part is to know the service providers that can solve these issues and not break the bank. There are very few services that are currently available which are also affordable AND solve most of the technological issues that can often plague a teleclass.
