online workshops

Internet learning sessions

Online workshops are educational or training sessions conducted over the internet, typically featuring live instruction, group participation, and interactive elements like discussions or exercises.

Unlike passive webinars, workshops emphasize hands-on learning and skill-building: I signed up for an online workshop on watercolor techniques.

The format gained widespread adoption when in-person gatherings became impractical.
