Online courses can be either academic formation with actual credits or professional training to obtain a certification. Two great examples include MIT OpenCourseWare and the Harvard Online learning. In their latest study, Global Shapers, reports that more than three fourth of young people have indeed taken an online class. It also states that 46% of respondents would be willing to pursue certification for certain skills. Professional certifications and master degrees are the most likely to be pursued online.

Teaching was actually the first intended purposes of webinars, and the reason they were invented. Webinars can recreate a learning environment that closely match that of a live class room. You can display slides, film the classroom, create a whiteboard and even interact with your students.
It does not matter if one student is 30 feet away and another one 10 000 miles away. You can still interact with both of them via live chat, questions, and polls. By tracking all of these interactions and answers, you even get a better traceability with remote students that you would have otherwise.
The fact that your classroom is open to the world will bring new students from different countries, cultures and create new forms of interaction inside the classroom. Same goes for potential guest teachers from different locations and various backgrounds.
Use the full potential of webinars and online video to further your classes' reach.
