Webinars are online seminars offered by a variety of educational sources outside LBCC. They are typically an hour-long. They usually require signing up ahead of time and, sometimes, running a "Wizard" to test if your computer is ready to run them. They may require the use of a phone or headphones for the audio portion. They are sometimes presented in one or both of the Instructional Technology Development Centers, or you can view them on your own at your home or office.

These Webinars are not ITDC presentations, but recommended presentations from a variety of sources. Many Webinars, when presented live, are in different time zones. Use this Time Zone Converter if you need to change a time zone.

Contact C.C. Sadler (csadler@lbcc.edu) or Leslie Heber (lheber@lbcc.edu) if you have any questions or problems with accessing any of the presentations.

Summary
In President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, he stressed the importance of education to his economic agenda. He reemphasized the national goal of leading the world with the highest share of college graduates by 2020. He appealed to the Congress to increase federal student aid and called upon state governments to make higher education a higher priority in their budgets. He also announced six new reforms to promote shared responsibility to address the college affordability challenge. This webinar will provide an overview of the president’s education agenda, review how higher education associations are working with the federal government to shape postsecondary education policy, and address the role that information technology can play in discussions concerning accountability and college affordability.
