Clinical Trials: Opening the Door for the Underserved
A Webcast From the Oncology Nursing Society

What is a Webcast?

Participants watch a PowerPoint presentation on the web while listening to the presenter speak via their computer speakers or telephone and have the ability to ask questions, respond to polls, and provide feedback about the presentation.

ONS offers two easy ways to listen to a webcast while watching the slides on the web. Participants can choose to listen to the event using their computer speakers, or by calling in to a special conference call number and providing a pass code to access the event. The events begin automatically for both types of participants, and there is no difference in the viewer experience.

When registering, participants should consider the computer system on which they will be viewing the event. Participants who choose the computer-only option must have a system equipped with speakers, and participants opting to listen via the telephone must have both computer and telephone connections available.

To view a webcast, participants must have Windows Media Player installed on their computer. Windows Media Player is available for free download by clicking the logo on the left.

For other helpful tips and system checks to ensure that your computer is ready for webcasting, visit the Webcast Group website.

After a webcast event has occurred, the event will be archived for viewers who were unable to attend the live event. The archive will be available on this website for 6 months after the event release date.
