What are the available course delivery types (formats)? What are the differences between OnDemand and Podcast/CEtoGo?

Zoom Webinar / GoToWebinar* - A live CE presentation, accessed on a desktop/laptop computer or a mobile device for a real-time visual and audio presentation, delivered through a video conferencing platform, such as Zoom or GoTo. It can be joined via the browser or the Zoom/GoTo applications (the latter need to be downloaded to your device in advance).
External Access* - A live CE presentation, accessed on a desktop/laptop computer or a mobile device for a real-time visual and audio presentation, delivered through a video conferencing platform. External access means that the registration for the course can be completed through the CE catalog, however the access information is provided directly by the sponsoring section/chapter. You'll usually find the contact information for the sponsoring entity in the course description.
OnDemand / Self Study / Online Seminar - A pre-recorded program accessed on a desktop/laptop computer or a mobile device delivered within your CE account through the InReach Viewer; typically, video with audio, or a slide show with audio.
Video Replay - A re-broadcast of a past seminar at a specific date and location; these are in-person events.

* Please note that we strongly recommend joining the live events 10-15 minutes in advance to allow time for troubleshooting without missing out on any portion of the program.
